180m3 of donations collected
The collection of donations, launched by the City and the Communal Center for Social Action (CCAS) between February 28 and March 4, made it possible to package 160 pallets of clothing, food and hygiene products for Parisian associations, before their transfer to Ukraine.
“Thirty-one pallets were sent to Paris on March 8, 10 and 11, but eight of them were returned to us, for lack of possibility of support. »

A wish. Thursday evening, the elected officials Chartres Ecology, Chartres on the Left and With you and Dare Chartres otherwise wanted to examine a wish about the war in Ukraine.
“Citizens want us to speak out about this war and condemn it explicitly,” said Quentin Guillemain, after having already spoken on this subject at the previous City Council meeting on February 24. A request directly rejected by the mayor, Jean-Pierre Gorges, who decided to withdraw the wish. “It has nothing to do in a municipal council,” challenged the mayor. In a press release, the elected official of Chartres ecology strongly opposes this decision, accusing the city councilor of being “in contradiction with the law” after having refused to submit this wish to a vote during this session.

The original budget debated, but adopted
After the budgetary orientations presented at the last City Council, on February 24, the initial budget 2022 crystallized the debate at the start of the session.
This was the first issue to be discussed, and not the least. The original budget aroused many reactions within the hemicycle of the administrative pole. Franck Masselus, assistant in charge of finance, presented the main budget of the City, of 99.2 million euros.

On the fittings side, the expenditure borne by the main budget will amount to 1 million euros. Three other additional budget items will also be financed: underground car parks, up to 215,000 euros, early childhood, for 2.7 million euros and participation in the CCAS budgets, for 1.8 million euros. .
“We will of course vote against this truncated budget”, hammered Quentin Guillemain (Chartres ecology).
“While subsidies are halved this year, participation in the early childhood budget is decreasing, the budget for receptions is increasing by 50%. This is the terrible conclusion of your policy! »

“He does not understand anything when reading a budget”, immediately retorted the mayor, Jean-Pierre Gorges.
They voted against. Quentin Guillemain, Jean-François Bridet, Brigitte Cottereau, Olivier Maupu (Chartres ecology); Gaël Garreau, Fabien Standaert, Virginie Chauvel (With you Dare Chartres differently); Jacqueline Marre and Boris Provost (Chartres on the left).
Update on the Municipal Youth Council
Adopted by a majority – only Boris Provost, Jacqueline Marre (Chartres on the left) and Brigitte Cottereau (Chartres ecology) abstained -, the methods of organization and functioning of the Municipal Youth Council are becoming clearer.
Now led by Emmanuelle Ferrand, after the withdrawal of Ladislas Vergne’s delegations, it will be chaired by the mayor and made up of 4th and 3rd year students. It should have a budgetary envelope and meet at least twice in plenary session, on three thematic commissions: citizenship and memory, sustainable development and urban projects.

The question of their selection has also given rise to heated debates. “We believe that there should be an election process since, as you keep reminding Mayor, democracy is voting,” said Olivier Maupu (Chartres Ecology).
Emmanuelle Ferrand, adviser to the majority and rapporteur for the text, immediately asserted: “I don’t want to teach these young people to campaign, but to exercise their duty as citizens, I’m not going to encourage them to get elected. »
