  • The mayor LR of Villeneuve-Loubet had posters of a masked boar put up.

  • Lionnel Luca attacked the prefect's order requiring the wearing of a mask, in his town in particular.

A wild boar decked out in a surgical mask has appeared on the billboards of Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice.

This is the response - a bit provocative - from the mayor (LR) Lionnel Luca.

The councilor is fiercely opposed to the compulsory wearing of a mask in the open air in his town, which a prefectural decree has imposed for a few days, from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. as part of the measures to combat the spread of the disease. Covid-19.

"It is absurd to take a global decree"

As of Saturday, Lionnel Luca denounced "a unilateral and brutal decision": "I am not anti-mask since I took a municipal decree on August 26 to impose the mask around the schools, nurseries and college!

All of our outdoor shows this summer were with masks.

"

What Lionnel Luca rejects is the widespread wearing of a mask in a town "which has no urban center of high human density but on the contrary benefits from an exceptional natural environment which is very ventilated.

It is therefore absurd to take a comprehensive decree, without nuance and above all without having debated it.

"

The administrative tribunal deliberates this Wednesday

The town seized the administrative court of Nice as part of a procedure of "summary freedom" to try to suspend the decision of the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes.

The debate before the court is scheduled for Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. and the decision expected in the afternoon.

Decrees requiring the wearing of masks have already been canceled by the courts.

This was still the case on Monday: the Strasbourg administrative court ordered the prefect of Bas-Rhin to rewrite her decree on the compulsory wearing of a mask in Strasbourg.

In Nice, the administrative court had on the contrary validated, in August, the appeal for excess of power brought against the municipal decree of Christian Estrosi.
