After Anticor paved the way, followed by Christian Estrosi and Olivier Bettati, Patrick Allemand could not legitimately refrain from presenting “his” charter.
Called the “governance charter,” it is merely another version of an ethical charter: Its purpose is, like the others, to position itself more in the realm of communication rather than morality.
