“Friend of Putin and Hitler”: the poster which targets the mayor of Sauvian and which causes a scandal in the village
|Des habitants sont perturbés par ces propos, pas Bernard Oriol. correspondant
Une affiche portant le nom de deux dictateurs sous le portrait du maire de Sauvian, Bernard Oriol, faisant ses vœux à la population émeu dans le village.
The sign of a construction site in the town of Sauvian served as support for a leaflet insulting the mayor of the village. On the latter, we can read: "Friend of Putin and Hitler", written by hand under the photo of the mayor, Bernard Oriol. The site concerned is located between Sauvian and Sérignan. This is an ecological renaturation project between the two municipalities. Not at all sure that there is a link between the political choice of the mayor of Sauvian and the representation that we can have of the two dictators… For the elected official, it is appears to be a non-incident.
The mayor does not seem affected
"I asked the technical services not to worry about it and to continue their work. This ecological corridor is not an initiative of the town hall, but was identified by the Regional Directorate of the Environment and the Departmental Directorate of Territories and the Sea, State services, during the revision of our PLU. They demanded from the city the recovery of these spaces, the demolition of the surrounding walls and constructions without permits, as well as the renaturation. This process, called decabanization, is practiced in many municipalities."
