In “his” Valberg, Charles-Ange Ginésy gathered authorities, elected officials, but above all his friends (and judging by the number of people present, he must not be missing many!) for the New Year’s wishes: “Thank you all for being so many to respond positively this evening for the presentation of my wishes.”
After the pleasantries (“Thank you to @prefet06 Georges-François Leclerc for being here because it’s the first time in 20 years that I’ve seen a prefect of Alpes-Maritimes at VALBERG’s wishes), it was time for emotions for the man who is now the president of the Departmental Council in the footsteps of his father, Charles: “Succeeding Éric Ciotti as president of the Department honors and obliges me. I carry this department in my heart because it is of undeniable richness and a remarkable territory from the coastal edge to our most rural communities. An exceptional territory where every stone has a name, every tree a face, every path a story, every summit an adventure.”
In his speech, Charles-Ange Ginésy reaffirmed his commitment in his new role: “I have never had any other ambition than to lead the public interest, and I have always chosen proximity and the territory to conduct my political action. The passion that inhabits me […] remains intact and reinforced. It drives my actions, my commitment, and my desire to lead numerous projects. All my life I have been passionate, and maybe it’s related to my childhood and my journey in contact with nature.”
His actions will be collective: “I passionately wish to act with a team spirit with Xavier Beck, my 1st Vice-President, and an even stronger administration of the Departmental Council at the service of its inhabitants.”
A man of the field and proximity, Charles-Ange Ginésy is particularly keen on ensuring that “the communes retain their identity and strength. I offer them all my support. We will continue to act in the spirit of this territorial solidarity.”
To conclude, a quote that well reflects his mindset: Léon Gambetta said, “To govern the French, one needs strong words and moderate actions.” I think the opposite: to govern well, one needs moderate words and strong actions.
