Valerie Gonthier, a member of
the majority, resigned Tuesday from the municipal council and assures that she
would not be the only one to move away from the options of the mayor. The
former counselor denounces both "unpreparedness and incapacity "Of
Robert Ménard to the function of mayor, his authoritarianism and" the
absence of concrete results behind ideological artifices ".
The load is high. All the more so because it comes from a woman who chose in
2014 to join Robert Ménard, a psychoanalyst by profession that was the first
political commitment.
Valerie Gonthier explained on
Thursday in a statement about the reasons that led her to resign from the
municipal council of Béziers. If they do not surprise the opponents of the
mayor of Beziers and most observers, they are probably able to make many
thinkers, who like her, were seduced by the verb of Robert Ménard.
"The Establishment of
Personal Power"
Valérie Gonthier first denounced "the establishment of a personal power and the inability to manage a team". Those who attend the meetings of the council know the little latitude that the elected representatives of the majority have. Valerie Gonthier speaks of a "concentration of power in a few hands" and of the "role played by certain persons, including Robert Ménard's own wife, who has no official title or function." For her, "this raises real questions about the respect of the choice of Biterrois".
"Robert Ménard does not suffer that we can express an opinion different from his own," she writes, noting her "lack of respect towards the elected representatives of the majority beyond her restricted circle". While she was in charge of relations with the associations, she was like others put before the fait accompli when the name of the House of the associative life was changed without being consulted.

"The disturbing
dysfunction of municipal services"
More worrisome is "the dysfunction of municipal services". Valerie Gonthier confirms what many others have seen before her: the absence of a director general of services for nearly a year, the departure of the head of the service com ', the shattering resignation of the dir'ab…" The relentless reorganization of the services, the projects and projects launched and left unanswered". "Instead of motivating teams ... we prefer to eliminate the bonuses of agents and increase the salaries of some. This is certainly not what we defended during the 2014 campaign, "writes the one who joined Robert Ménard, so that the Biterrois can live" in safety "and that the economy" devastated by unemployment "resumes" All its vigor ".

"A dangerous ideological
drift"
Valérie Gonthier concludes that this situation "reflects both the unpreparedness and the inability to perform the function by Robert Ménard but also the drifts of a system where confidence and delegation have no place" .
Finally, another drift is denounced, the "ideological drift". "I did not join Robert Ménard to offer with the taxes of the Biterrois tribunes to all the sulfurous theoreticians of the extreme right, reactionary, royalists and so on," she says denouncing "the nostalgic crusades of The France of before, of French Algeria or of traditional Catholicism ".
She who considers that "provocation, hatred and conflict never bring anything good apart from perhaps hiding the lack of concrete results behind ideological artifices" no longer feels able to carry out its mandate and Ensures that "it is not the only one to share this conviction". A communique written by the elected representatives of the municipal majority, declaring "unity" around the mayor, denounces on this subject a "virulence displaced".
Valérie Gonthier is the second elected (after Brice Blazy) who resigns the majority of Robert Ménard. Prelude to cracks in the team brought to business in 2014? The future will tell.
