Crepe maker in a kiosk in allées Roosevelt, Laure Poquet from the end of her two-year lease. Several people came to support the young self-employed person.
Several Toulouse residents are mobilized this Friday, on the aisles François Mitterrand, close to the Jean-Jaurès metro, to support Laure Poquet who, two years ago, opened the La Migoudène kiosk, specializing in Breton pancakes made with local products. In the middle of the afternoon, several people, places already showing their support for the self-entrepreneur, expressed their disagreement on the closing of the small kiosk. A place now closed, presented in plastic and lined with signatures of support from residents for the young woman. 3484 in total, according to Yahn, conjoined son. “Laure is not here,” he explains. She is struggling and struggling to understand what is happening to her. Obviously, she knew that her occupancy agreement, which ended on October 31, risked not being renewed. But hope for an extension and save a few months until the next call for projects. But the refusal of the town hall swept away his hopes. She had to leave the place today. It’s sad “.
Her supporters testify: “Laure worked well, struggled, was smiling,” assures Gisèle. She will be missing in the aisles ”.
Four opposition municipal councilors are also present to say no to this decision: Isabelle Hardy, Caroline Honvault, Maxime Le Texier and Jamal El Arch: “In this complex health context, we must support small artisans.”
“The work in the markets has nothing to do with that of a kiosk”
Laure has always affirmed that she has no conflict with the City, which details the context: “Laure Poquet had wished to be a candidate for two years during the call for projects but the law does not allow, in this context, to extend the agreement of occupation of the public domain. In addition, the mediation procedure that she had requested could not be investigated by lack of presentation of documents. However, she was able to apply on several markets: her application will be studied during the committees of November 9 and 16 ”. This solution does not satisfy Laure, a former engineer who left everything to live his passion and find her Breton origins, “working in the markets has nothing to do with that of a kiosk”.
