The news broke yesterday in Nice Matin, which had reported through journalist Jean-François Roubaud that Jacques Peyrat decided not to sit on the city council, where he had been the mayor for two terms. “I did not want to find myself in a sterile opposition given the contempt shown towards the Republican Agreement. Why waste time going to the city council to say things that will neither be listened to nor heard?” Regarding his successor, Mr. Peyrat is pleased with the arrival of a colleague he considers “full of qualities, holds numerous degrees, and is a marathon runner. I hope she will bring her skills, experience, youth, and knowledge.”
Regarding the 700 million debt, the hundreds of stored bicycles… “One must compare what is comparable and not mix up the accounts of the City of Nice and CANCA. It’s pure falsehood.” A plea attempting to dismantle the media announcement of the city’s debt.
As for the new city management, Jacques Peyrat made his first assessment, “It is not heading in the right direction, and it will see its youth crisis along the way. However, I regret the abandonment of projects like the Place de la Libération and the Sulzer project. I was criticized for a stadium of 32,000 seats and now they are talking about a stadium of 40,000 seats.”
And then the conversation continued about the future, the Republican Agreement, the Senate, this new life, and his last and first real vacation.
