The President of the third section of the Council of State has deemed it appropriate to delegate the precautionary decision to the college, setting the council chamber for next September 10, so as not to definitively prejudice the interest of the administration opposed to the display of documents pending the decision. of the college (which would be useless after showing off the documents), given the legal "worthy of study" matter.
