The Nice Côte d'Azur metropolis and the Alpes-Maritimes department merged?
The "true project of simplification" defended by Emmanuel Macron has found new detractors.
Like the deputy Eric Ciotti and the president of the departmental council Charles-Ange Ginesy, the elected officials of Antibes, Cannes and Grasse, also LR, formalized this Thursday their strong opposition to this idea "disconnected from the reality of [their] territory " .
Composed of four agglomeration communities in the west of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Cap Azur metropolitan center adopted in council "a motion against any merger", indicated this community.
Created in 2018, it brings together more than half of the municipalities in the department.
In the name of "equity and territorial solidarity"
Jean Leonetti, David Lisnard, Jérôme Viaud, (LR mayor of Antibes, Cannes and Grasse and presidents of their own urban community) as well as Charles-Ange Ginésy (also at the head of the Community of Alpes d'Azur communes) “refuse” this project, specifies a press release.
They defend "the essential couple municipalities-department [...] guarantor", according to them, "of equity and territorial solidarity".
The President of the Republic candidate for his re-election had explained, on March 17, had judged that the idea of a merger was “far from being uninteresting”.
And it could, according to him, materialize if the president of the Nice metropolis Christian Estrosi, who also defends it, "manages to convince one or two of his colleges".
