Important rules:
– Anne-Marie Gil elected mayor.
– Six deputies appointed, continuity and respect for commitments at the heart of speeches.
The die is cast and all Sorèziens agree that the Municipal election campaign took place in a perfectly respectful atmosphere.
From the opening of the installation municipal council, as the outgoing mayor, Alain Schmidt announced the results, 19 seats for Anne-Marie Gil’s list and 4 for his own list. The presidency of the assembly was given to Gérard de Léotoing as dean. His speech emphasized previous terms and in particular: “We are only passing around a table that belongs to no one but the service of the common interest… We were elected to represent, listen, decide, sometimes arbitrate, but always in a spirit of regularity and respect for institutions.”
Following this were the installation and election of the mayor, Anne-Marie Gil, and the appointment of the six deputies, namely Claude Bonnoure, 1st deputy (finances, economic development, culture), Nathalie Thuries (schools), Thierry Semat (works and urban planning), Lydia Ungar-Salviac (social affairs), Claude Dauget (security, sports and associations), and finally Virginie Thomas (youth).
To conclude the session, Alain Schmidt’s speech was particularly appreciated by all. He emphasized that at least 80% of the announced projects have been completed and that with his three elected colleagues, they will not work in opposition, just as the four people from the other list have agreed to work with him in good harmony: “We will not oppose. But we have a duty of representation for the 41.3% of Sorèziens who voted for us. We will also be attentive to ensure that the commitments you have made are kept.” He also recalled the center village contract that commits the municipality until 2028. To conclude the evening, the mayor highlighted the most important issues such as schools, shops, housing, events, youth and solidarity, but above all the mixed union of the abbey.
