After "the attempted arson", to which the town hall of Pont-Saint-Esprit was the subject on March 5, the mayor of Pont-Saint-Esprit Claire Lapeyronie addressed, Thursday March 7, a letter to Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, in which she asks him to "create the conditions" so that the attacks suffered by elected officials stop.

"2,400 local elected officials were attacked in 2023, 15% more than in 2022"   recalls Claire Lapeyronie, who calls for "more resources for municipalities to respond to the difficulties of residents".

"It is the responsibility of the State"

The mayor of Pont-Saint-Esprit links "the impression of abandonment" in the territories "to the disengagement of the State", which results in the lack of local public services, dematerialized administrative procedures and complex, empty town hall coffers… she lists while recalling that "the French are counting on their country to guarantee them access to care, education, and education# 39;water, for use…"

Claire Lapeyronie asks the Prime Minister to strengthen the resources of the national police and the gendarmerie and to increase funding for municipalities, departments and regions "in order to allow local elected officials to support the French in proportion to the challenges. It is the responsibility of the State" she concludes.
