Jeanne Barseghian and Catherine Trautmann at a press conference on Saturday July 4. - G. Varela / 20 Minutes

A few hours before taking official office at the head of the city of Strasbourg, the ecologist Jeanne Barseghian held a joint press conference with the former head of the socialist list Catherine Trautmann. The latter will indeed be part of the new executive.

Ignoring the feuds that pitted the top two during the campaign, it was finally decided that two socialists would join the new team at the helm. "A majority fully mobilized to respond, in a collegial manner, to the challenges of the very particular period that is opening," explained Jeanne Barseghian. “Realizing the importance of these challenges, Catherine Trautmann and I have initiated a renewed dialogue in the past few days. It was necessary, at the dawn of this new mandate, to work for the cohesion of the forces of social transformation present in Strasbourg. The elected official insisted on "working together, within the framework of an intergroup, to implement our ecological, social and democratic project for Strasbourg." "

"A strong sharing of responsibilities"

Insisting on its desire "to share responsibilities strongly between elected representatives of the majority" in order to "respond more effectively to the ecological and economic crisis", she underlined that she wanted to "overcome the divisions". But above all want to "highlight the spirit of openness which will be the" pillar of a new way of doing politics, which must now inspire all exchanges in institutions, as in the city.
