The outgoing president of CDOS 06 was elected with 83% as Vice-President of the French Federation of Lifesaving and First Aid during the last General Assembly. Could this election mark the end of the electoral competition with his rival Philippe Manassero for the presidency of CDOS after the “draw” between the two candidates during the AGM on March 14th?
Is a national commitment compatible, in terms of time management, with the heavy burden that the local position entails? Jean-Paul Serra has not yet disclosed his intention to run again or not in the next General Assembly scheduled for May 3rd, but there are signs that clearly indicate his intentions.
Will Philippe Manassero therefore have a clear path for an election that is anything but consensual? Will there be a third compromise candidate?
Azurean sports deserves better than this ego clash!
