Zartoshte Bakhtiari, the mayor (DVD) of Neuilly-sur-Marne (Seine-Saint-Denis), is furious.
He estimates that the city's energy bill will be at least multiplied by five with the new contract proposed by TotalEnergies.
A vertiginous increase that the municipality will not be able to assume according to the elected official.
He therefore pushed a rant on social networks and sent a letter to the President of the Republic last weekend, reports

Municipal services in danger
He denounces “organized racketeering” from energy suppliers which endangers municipal services.
He also announces the creation of the collective "Stop racket energy" which brings together the mayors of several municipalities such as Gagny, Villemomble, Le Bourget and Coubron.
The city councilor has also launched a petition asking energy companies to reinvest the millions of euros in profits obtained to help municipalities and the French.
Finally, Zartoshte Bakhtiari asked Emmanuel Macron and the government to act, while the city has already decreed several energy saving measures.
After a meeting between suppliers and several ministers on October 5, new measures were announced for businesses and communities.
