In his wishes, the mayor did not forget, of course, “the health crisis which has revealed many systemic flaws at the national level, forcing us to take up multiple unprecedented solidarity challenges. It is the festive identity of our city which is cut off from its carnival and multiple popular events .

A future for which, we voted, last December, 8 million investment in order to initiate in 2021 the first phase of works which will transform and beautify our city. I don’t want to forget anything about what you have entrusted to me, your expectations, your hopes, these projects so that Limoux remains what it is : a city that carries high the “ live well together “.

It is the affirmation, for our elders and for our children, of our desire, anchored in our traditions, to prepare Limoux for the challenges of the future. we support our precious associative fabric and its voluntary investment.These are more than 160 associations that we support for more than 700 000 €. Volunteering, whether sporting, cultural, charitable, social or economic, plays a preponderant role in the influence of our city “.
Health in this time of pandemic is a major issue. The mayor wished to reaffirm it: “These challenges also involve strengthening our hospital group. The population needs an imaging care offer within our hospital group through the acquisition of scanner equipment. We will do what is necessary to obtain this tool. This confidence that I share with you is nourished by a conviction, the upheavals we are experiencing are opening up new perspectives for this city made for people that is Limoux “.
Despite the Covid-19 and its damage, it was a question of prospects: “Our action is therefore part of a triple social, economic and ecological perspective. We are supporting economic players and we are preparing to welcome new ones. We are also acting to support the ongoing transformation of our farmers. 2021 is therefore the year. year of work which will allow us to apprehend the future with serenity. Also, nourished by this confidence in our city, in our joint action, make these ordinary gestures which make our humanity, I address to you, on behalf of the municipal council , all our best wishes for good health, happiness, prosperity and fraternity “.
