Organisation

During the working sessions which will continue throughout the month of May, the newly elected college will also prepare its legislative speech which should present its priorities and its desire to work by consensus. Thematic delegations will be formed around cross-cutting issues. A legislative programme will be developed and published within a period of 6 months from 1 June 2020.

This legislature 2020-2025 will begin its mandate against the backdrop of an unprecedented health, social and economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which will strongly influence municipal actions.

More generally speaking, the college intends to work purposefully to promote a city committed to ecological transition while reducing social inequalities and ensuring economic viability.
