FRANCE – This Monday, November 20, the 105th congress of the Association of Mayors of France begins, in Paris. This year it will focus on the increasing violence against mayors in recent years. Since this morning, the mainstream media have continued to give voice to mayors who complain and blame the population in a condescending tone. We receive by telephone Philippe Pascot, who denounces this media treatment and reminds us that certain mayors should start by setting an example.

Former municipal councilor, Philippe Pascot has denounced hundreds of cases of corruption of elected officials and recalls that the law requiring elected officials to provide proof of a clean criminal record is still blocked by the Senate. According to him, violence is a social fact, but unfortunately generalized, and which does not only affect the mayors of France who, according to our guest, for some, have a tendency to “take themselves for gods”.
