The PS office had been clear: by changing the majority, the ax would fall. Muriel Targnion is therefore excluded from the party.

The mayor of Verviers was received in audience by the vigilance committee of her party on Wednesday. The day after this meeting, the decision fell. It was probably by email that the Vervietoise learned the news. She should communicate during the day.
This Wednesday was indeed a decisive day for the socialist mayor of Verviers. Muriel Targnion was heard by the vigilance commission of the PS, empowered to vote for his exclusion. La Verviet had carefully prepared her defense in a 12-page dossier.
Right of life or death
The suspense was at its height for the political world of Verviers. All were indeed awaiting the decision of the national PS on the fate of mayor Muriel Targnion. Because of this decision depend the political career within the PS of the Verviet, but also the survival of the enlarged majority project.
Motivated by the greed or at least by more important mandates, two “close” of Muriel Targnion have already turned their jackets to line up with his opponents. Others could follow the same path in case of disappointment of the “rebel”, which would kill its future mini majority of 20 seats (counting the elected CDH in their entirety).
Willful disobedience
Already heard earlier this week by the tutelage (composed of Theutois André Frédéric, Hutois Christophe Collignon and Liégeoise Marie-Claire Lambert) supposed to restore the dialogue between the Verviers reds and find a solution, the mayor faced a new hearing on Wednesday . At the Boulevard de l’Empereur this time, where she had to defend herself against the party vigilance commission on Wednesday at 11 a.m. This body which has the right of life or death within the Socialist Party. It is this same commission which in 2016 had decided the case of the other socialist of Verviers, Saïd Naji for having compared Israel to Daesh. He had received a reprimand, one of the weakest sanctions in the party.
But here, it is a question of an act much more reprehensible in the eyes of the party with the rose: voluntary disobedience. It is therefore an exclusion that was in question for Muriel Targnion. She had indeed deliberately violated the orders of the guardianship by filing a motion of collective distrust against the college at the beginning of July.
It is accompanied that she went to Brussels. In front of the vigilance commission. She could indeed come with an activist by her side, in this case an activist who was also a lawyer. And they did not come empty-handed as they presented a dossier of a dozen pages of defense.
His defense was not enough. The PS decided to exclude it!
