Overview
- Newly elected Nicolas Naudet won council approval at his second meeting to lift his monthly indemnity from about €1,500 to roughly €4,000–€4,100.
- The increase amounts to about 173% compared with what the former mayor chose to take.
- French law sets a €2,778 gross monthly cap for a town of about 18,000 residents, though specific bonuses allowed by law can raise the permitted amount.
- Naudet says he works full time and sought pay in line with nearby towns, noting Montmorency is near €4,000 and Saint-Gratien is closer to €5,000.
- Opposition councillor Omar Bekare warns extra allowances for intercommunal roles could push total monthly pay to nearly €7,500.
