The appointment was given the first Sunday of the year at 11 a.m. In terms of timing, the mayor of Gérardmer has opted for tradition to pronounce his vows to the people of Gérôme. But it is in video that the mayor addressed his fellow citizens in a rather short speech, essentially devoted to the Covid-19 crisis. “The year that is ending has been hard, even violent for some of us,” said the mayor. “My thoughts are with the parents, the children, the relatives of the victims of Covid-19. Like them, my thoughts go out to all those who have been confronted with separation or hit hard by unemployment ”
