In all, they were 58 if our calculations are correct … ” We’re not 20 every day, but that’s a pleasure because it reminds me of many important and emotional moments in my life because I’ve been surrounded by elected officials since 2001. Four terms are a bit long and constructive. have the health to do them and have the confidence of Nîmes and Nîmois. I am proud of these mandates, it is important and I am grateful to them. I believe they elected a builder mayor, a mayor who is also humanist because I am close to them and they gave me this confidence which makes me happy. “
But what would Jean-Paul Fournier like to say to Nîmes? ” I regret that this pandemic forces us to close everything but I tell them that there will surely be better times, that they expect a little to be re-defined because in my opinion we will have some for some time yet but I hope the vaccines will be there quickly to get out of this situation! “
