Caroline Collomb will leave his post of departmental referent of the Rhone at the request of the Republic in march, one learned Monday from concordant sources within the party, confirming information of the Figaro .
The wife of the mayor of Lyon was dismissed "permanently", told AFP a member of the executive board of LREM. Caroline Collomb, appointed departmental referent in October 2017, was challenged by a part of her troops who castigated her supposedly unchallenged governance. Due to her duty as a magistrate, she was forced to withdraw from the campaign and was replaced by an interim referee, Ludovic Midol-Monnet.
Behind this case, the next elections to the mayor and the metropolis
"We are looking for a formula to replace it.A priori, we will rotate with the parliamentarians of the Rhone so that the department continues to live in the approach of municipal," said the same member of the executive board.
Behind Caroline Collomb's case, fratricidal ambitions are emerging for the next mayoral and metropolitan elections. On the one hand, Gérard Collomb returned to his stronghold this autumn after a resounding resignation from the government and on the other his former lieutenant, David Kimelfeld, who is firmly attached to the presidency of the city, seat of the real power of Lyon, which he will bid in 2020.
