The year 2025 promises to be festive in Caen (Calvados), which will celebrate its millennium. To manage this event, the City has decided to set up a legal structure, in the form of a Public Interest Group (GIP).
This question was again on the agenda of the municipal council of June 27, 2022 and was the subject of debate. Céline Pain (Caen ecologist and citizen) asked again that the minority can sit within this GIP. “Rudy L’Orphelin asked for it and there was an agreement in principle. »
“It’s the conference of funders”
Negative response from LR mayor, Joël Bruneau: “This group simply has a legal existence so that there is total transparency of the accounts. Basically, it’s the funders’ conference. » He adds : “We will very regularly have exchanges within the framework of a commission. It is in this context that we intend to associate you. »
A response that cast doubt on the left-wing opposition, which voted against this deliberation, which was adopted by a majority. The City of Caen, the Region, the Department, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the university will sit in this group.
