Has the municipal majority knowingly erased the statue of Jacques-Delmas from the photo of Place Pey-Berland which illustrates its 2021 greeting card? This is what Guillaume Chaban-Delmas, grandson of Jacques Chaban-Delmas and opposition municipal councilor wants to believe. In a tweet addressed to the mayor of Bordeaux Pierre Hurmic, Guillaume Chaban-Delmas wonders: “Am I the only one to wonder why this low cost greeting card, in very ugly neon green and worthy of a feverish schoolboy, has remove the statue of one of your illustrious predecessors? “

A tweet repeated in a loop by the municipal opposition, quick to relay, even to stimulate, a new “bad buzz” against Pierre Humic after the case of the dead Christmas tree and that of the awkward tweet of tribute to… Jacques Chaban-Delmas, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of his death. “Today citizens want full-time mayors, who no longer accumulate either in time or in the moment,” Pierre Hurmic tweeted, triggering the ire of his opponents who accuse him of denigrating the history of the city.
For its part, the municipal majority fiercely denies having wanted to erase the statue of Jacques-Chaban Delmas from the cliché of wishes: “on the map, the color green has come to illustrate the greening of Place Pey-Berland as we wish. it turns out that the photo chosen by the graphic designer is an old photo: it dates from a time when the statue was not in place and when the cathedral had its walls blackened “.
