After the municipal majority of Cagnes-sur-Mer, the "Carine Papy affair" is now shaking up the departmental council

The "Carine Papy affair," elected in 2020 on Louis Nègre's list in Cagnes-sur-Mer and becoming the UDR delegate for the ^6th constituency, continues to agitate local elected officials. There are those who welcome her now official support for MP Éric Ciotti, candidate for mayor of Nice and president of the Métropole, and those who are offended by what they consider to be a shift to the far right. Like Joseph Segura, her colleague on the Alpes-Maritimes departmental council. Carine Papy is also vice-president of the departmental authority.

“Unprecedented and unworthy of our department”

"The far right is no longer just tolerated: it is installed at the heart of the executive. After the tribute to Jean-Marie Le Pen by a committee president, here is a vice-president who officially joins the UDR. This is unprecedented and unworthy of our department," indignantly declares the mayor of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, on behalf of the "Estrosiste" group in the Department.

"While President Charles Ange Ginésy claims to have no connection with the extremes, we are waiting for a strong clarification. The Alpes-Maritimes are currently the only department in France where the far right has a seat in the executive," added Segura. He asked the head of the Alpes-Maritimes "to withdraw the delegations of elected officials who have rallied to the far right."

"History will judge those who handed over the Department to Madame Le Pen's supporters," he asserts.

Bryan Masson salutes "his courage"

Bryan Masson, the RN MP for the ^6th constituency, salutes "the courage of Carine Papy." "She expressed her support for Éric Ciotti and, for that, she is being punished [ousted from Louis Nègre's municipal majority] . This is the mark of a system at the end of its tether: when a power no longer accepts contradiction, it prefers to punish rather than listen," says the RN elected official. "After thirty years, it is time to turn the page," argues the man who could face the incumbent in the next municipal elections. "Cagnes needs a new lease of life, a project of freedom and unity for its residents," adds Bryan Masson.
