What was so far only a sentence dropped by a running mate of Franck Le Bohellec has finally been confirmed by the campaign team of the outgoing mayor of Villejuif. To have the right to appear on the “Villejuif gathered” list, candidates have to sign a charter by which they agree to respect values “Exemplary and probity in their future elected office”. This text also requires them to participate in the financing of the campaign with an amount required according to the desired rank on the list.
200 to 500 euros for a simple city councilor, the amount varying according to his availability. 2000 euros for a delegated city councilor. 4000 euros for a deputy mayor, and an additional 1000 euros for outgoing deputies who wish to keep their rank. “The campaign we are waging will cost tens of thousands of euros, it is the price of democracy. These sums are strictly regulated by the regulations and the campaign accounts are studied at the end of the electoral period by the National Commission of Campaign Accounts and the financing of Political Life “, justifies the outgoing mayor.
In addition to the entry ticket for access to the list, there are monthly contributions throughout the mandate for the benefit of the association supporting the list “Villejuif assembled!”, As well as donations for “Electoral campaigns other than municipal ones supported by the movement”.
Pass of weapon with the list Together for Villejuif
If the outgoing mayor has chosen to publicly recognize the use of this campaign financing practice, it is because the Together for Villejuif list, led by Pierre Garzon, broadcast on social networks this Wednesday an extract from the signed charter. by the running males and mentioning their “Imperative financial participation”. “These documents confirm the scandalous practices of the mayor. All the candidates on the “Villejuif Rassemblé” list therefore consciously bought their place for these elections … These practices are in line with the disastrous mandate of Franck Le Bohellec “, commented on the campaign team on the list.
After shedding light on this entry ticket system, the outgoing mayor now asks his opponent to be transparent. “For our part, we are proud to be able to demonstrate that the campaign is funded by the candidates themselves! That’s transparency. Mr. Garzon must tell us today where the tens of thousands of euros he has already spent on this campaign come from “ estimates for its part the candidate mayor, who does not specify if he will reimburse the candidates in case of failure.
“It seems to me that Mr. Le Bohellec does not know the law since it imposes the transparency of the accounts which are paid to the national commission at the end of the campaign and controlled as required by law. No one can escape it, of course. So there is de facto transparency ”, defends himself Pierre Garzon.
