Does Christian Estrosi have in mind to impose silence on the communist and Left Front elected officials? – says Robert Injey, the leader of the local PCF.
To continue: “Already campaigning to try to unseat the CGT from Saint François Square, Christian Estrosi is preparing, during the municipal council on Monday, June 25, and the metropolitan council on Friday, June 29, to amend the internal regulations of his 2 assemblies.
The modification, particularly for the municipal council, focuses on one point: significantly raising (1) the number of elected officials required to form a group, thereby allowing the possibility to speak within the council.
This decision is quite surprising, as most assemblies tend to lower the threshold to promote democratic expression. Does this reflect a concern for the deputy mayor of Nice?
-Why all this?
“This decision is quite surprising, as most assemblies tend to lower the threshold to promote democratic expression. Does this reflect a concern for the deputy mayor of Nice?
Is it about continuing to allow Left Front elected officials to speak in the municipal council or the Metropolis? Or is it the post-election fear of an implosion of the UMP majority and the creation of a diverse right-wing group?
And to conclude: “In any case, arbitrarily reducing the ability to create groups within these two assemblies is not good for democratic expression. And this is especially true in a department leading in electoral abstention.
(1) The threshold would increase from 2 to 5 in the municipal council and from 2 to 8 in the Metropolis.
