community elected officials sweeten the indemnity of the new CEO of Tecelys
There will be no compensation for the new CEO of Tecelys, the local public company in charge of several urban projects in the agglomeration and the city of Avignon, but also public transport for a year.
By 34 votes against and 29 for, the elected Villeneuvois Xavier Belleville was sweetened the additional €1200 that was to come to him in this position. In the absence of far-right elected officials, left-wing community advisers tipped the scales during the Monday, September 26 session of Grand Avignon. It was the Avignon representatives of the board of directors of Tecelys, Claude Nahoum and Paul-Roger Gontard, who deflowered the news. Unacceptable for the Avignon left at a time when many French people are tightening their belts and fearing a difficult tomorrow. It was the elected socialist, David Fournier, who drew the prime minister.
“I recalled that our majority has been part of a virtuous approach to public spending since 2014, that the mayor’s allowance was reduced by 20% and that of elected officials by 10% upon our arrival, and finally, that the allowance of elected officials, including on the community council, serves precisely that purpose. That there is no need for additional compensation. We could only vote against,” explains Mr. Fournier. It must be said, in fact, that Xavier Belleville is himself the first deputy of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and the 3e vice-president of the Agglomeration of Grand Avignon. He is already receiving compensation for this. Contacted, the interested party did not wish to express himself on this vote of refusal.
