Re-elected with 48 out of 53 votes, Charles Ange Ginésy is embarking on a fourth term at the Alpes d’Azur community of municipalities. Waste management, public services, and attractiveness are among the announced priorities.
Created in 2014, the Alpes d’Azur community of municipalities is opening a new political chapter. Charles Ange Ginésy has been reappointed as president with 48 out of 53 votes. This vote initiates a fourth term. The intermunicipal structure comprises 34 municipalities in the Upper and Middle regions.
The result not only indicates continuity but also a new team around the president. The assembly consists of 53 elected members. Fifteen vice-presidents make up the executive. The composition includes representatives from different valleys. The stated goal is based on a common line. Rurality is presented as a lever for the territory’s future.
For twelve years, the community of municipalities has been built on a merger of three entities. The initial trajectories were different. The grouping required gradual organization. The functioning has structured over the years. Governance has become closer to the ground. The elected members claim an ability to adapt to local realities.
Today, the new mandate is in line with this continuity. The territory intends to assert a local decision-making ability. The announced orientations are based on action and innovation. Cohesion among municipalities is a central focus.
Waste, services, and attractiveness at the core of the mandate
Waste management is identified as the first major project. Household waste is becoming an immediate priority. An objective has been set: a 15% reduction in household waste by 2030. This work will be conducted in collaboration with the UNIVALOM syndicate.
Three axes then structure the announced political action.
The first concerns public services. Proximity is emphasized. The elected members talk about pooling resources. Human presence remains a key issue. The development of digital tools complements this orientation. The intermunicipality is presented as a framework capable of responding to growing constraints.
The second axis aims at the attractiveness of the territory. The residential question appears central. Economic development accompanies this ambition. Mobility in the valleys is among the concerns. The objective is to encourage the settlement of new residents. The local dynamic must be strengthened.
The third axis focuses on financial management. Budgetary rigor is announced as a working principle. This approach should allow for investments. The projects particularly concern schools, public facilities, and energy renovation. The quality of life of the inhabitants remains the stated aim.
A territory engaged in international projects
The community of municipalities is also preparing for a major event. Alpes d’Azur will host the International Dark-Sky Reserves Congress. The event will take place from June 16 to 18 in Valberg. It will be held in the future Departmental House of Environment and Observatory.
This meeting highlights the work undertaken around the preservation of the night sky. The approach is part of a broader environmental policy. The territory seeks to promote its natural specificities.
An expanded executive team
The assembly proceeded with the election of vice-presidents. Fifteen names make up the executive. Pierre Corporandy becomes the first vice-president. Jean-Paul David holds the second position. Nicole Bertolotti, Arnaud Prigent, and Marie-Amélie Ginésy complete the top five positions. Francis Moya, Danielle Chabaud, and Vincent Giobergia are also part of this team. Jocelyne Baruffa, Gilbert Martinelli, and Jean-Pierre Audibert join the list. Anthony Salomone, Nicolas Donadey, Jean-Pierre Castiglia, and Bernard Briquetti complete the group.
The delegations have not yet been detailed. A division of competencies will be announced later. The goal is to cover all the territory’s challenges.
Following the election, Charles Ange Ginésy spoke to the assembly to address the weight of the mandate and the expressed expectations: “this fourth mandate is an immense responsibility. I acknowledge it. I know the weight of expectations, the enormity of challenges, but also the strength of our unity. Since 2014, we have transformed an intermunicipality born from a forced merger into a territory of excellence. Today, I want to elevate our ambition even further. Our rurality is not a blind spot of the Republic. On the contrary, it is the symbol of a vitality that refuses fate. Here, we do not endure, we act. We do not complain, we innovate. We do not throw in the towel, we extend our arms. But behind these words, there is a conviction: to make Alpes d’Azur a territory where people love to live, work, and grow. Alpes d’Azur will not suffer its future. It will build it, together, with lucidity and determination.”
The new mandate therefore begins with a precise roadmap. The coming months will allow for the assessment of the implementation of these orientations.
