Eight mayoral terms
“Elected without interruption and without appeal in a predominantly left-wing working-class city, you have never denied your Gaullist convictions. For the Fenschois, you were not just a simple mayor, continued Mathieu Weis. You have been and still are the village doctor, the family doctor, the one who treats and says things with honesty and kindness. Throughout your mandates, you have been a respected, respectable elected official and have always known how to defend your ideas, your often avant-garde projects. You also entered the Regional Council in 1986 in the service of the list of Jean-Marie Rausch. »
Surrounded by an audience of personalities, including the President of the Moselle Departmental Council Patrick Weiten, the President of the Portes de France-Thionville urban community Pierre Cuny, the deputy Brahim Hammouche and Jean-Marie Mizzon, senator of the Moselle, but also mayors of neighboring municipalities, and many friends and acquaintances, the recipient spoke.
Still a practicing doctor today, he gave his feelings about what is happening today in Ukraine, and warned the newly elected officials about the difficulties that are coming from all sides.
Elected officials and acquaintances then reported a few anecdotes, before all together raised the glass of friendship.
