Overview
- Mayor Daniel Spagnou, 85, was hospitalized with an infection and missed the January 21 council meeting, having already said he will not seek re-election in March 2026.
- First deputy Jean-Pierre Templier, a declared candidate in the upcoming municipal race, chaired the session that included the 2026 budget orientation item.
- The debate d’orientation budgétaire produced no substantive discussion, with no questions raised by councillors.
- The outgoing majority has fractured into two rival lists led by Templier and fifth deputy Bernard Codoul, with a left-union list also competing.
- Public attendance is growing, including supporters of the left-union list, but the council’s proceedings remained notably calm.
