On the sidelines of the Metropolitan Council meeting, President Christian Estrosi appeared as the mayor of Nice to discuss the referendum on the airport held the previous day and its result.
To everyone’s surprise, while according to recognized international standards, a turnout of around 16% is considered a colossal flop, Christian Estrosi engaged in high-flying statistical and intellectual gymnastics to transform it into an unquestionable success (sic!) that will significantly impact the subsequent passage of the law in the Senate.
Not having the divinations of the Mayor-President and considering the burlesque atmosphere of this Carnival period, here is a possible solution from which Christian Estrosi, who is seeking an anti-Macron law solution, might draw inspirationโฆ
Indeed, the Republic of Nissa, following the results of the plebiscite on the Nissa Airport on February 19, commits to not privatizing this entity essential to the economic development of the Republic of Nissa.
And when the Republic of Nissa is sovereign over its territory, it will be able to replace the French State in the 60% it currently holds.
This plebiscite reminds us of the one on April 14 and 15, 1860 (concerning the Annexation of Nissa to France) which took place under troubled circumstances, where the people of Nissa could not freely choose, as the French army was already present since early April. 25,933 inhabitants of the former County of Nissa participated in it.
