Woerth Report: the president of the European Collectivity of Alsace proposes a manifesto and denounces scandalous practices
Frédéric Bierry, president of the European Collectivity of Alsace, reacted strongly following the publication of the Woerth report. In his manifesto for Alsace, he denounces political practices and cronyism that have led to proposals “not up to” the discussions. What shocking revelations are uncovered by this report?
Proposals “not up to” the discussions
Frédéric Bierry expressed surprise and disappointment at Éric Woerth’s statements, with whom he had held several meetings. While it seemed they were reaching the same conclusion, the proposals in the report do not meet the expectations of the Alsace region. The president of the European Collectivity of Alsace reminds that the idea of a separate Alsace region, in addition to a Lorraine-Champagne-Ardenne region, was discussed during these talks. He questions the pressure that may have been exerted on Éric Woerth to arrive at such proposals. Frédéric Bierry also denounces the political postures and cronyism that have influenced these decisions.
Only “crumbs of pseudo-competences”
The project of the European Collectivity of Alsace was in line with the criteria set by the President of the Republic, particularly concerning the elimination of the “institutional mille-feuille”. Frédéric Bierry proposed strengthened cooperation with the neighboring region, such as joint train purchases, as well as transfers of competences, such as the National Forestry Office (ONF). However, the proposals in the Woerth report only offer mere “crumbs of pseudo-competences”. For Frédéric Bierry, these disrespectful choices towards the Alsatians reflect a lack of consideration for their democratic expression.
What about the future?
Despite this disappointment, the president of the European Collectivity of Alsace remains hopeful and calls for undertaking a significant political path. He proposes the signing of a manifesto aimed at the President of the Republic, expressing the Alsatians’ desire for a region of Alsace that offers more efficient public services closer to its inhabitants, while reducing administrative costs. Frédéric Bierry also announces a major march planned for this Saturday, June 1, at Mont Saint-Odile. The legitimacy of their approach relies on the will of the Alsatians. They remain determined not to give up and to make their voices heard.
In conclusion, the shocking revelations of the Woerth report highlight political practices and cronyism that have influenced decisions regarding the Alsace region. The proposals are not up to the discussions and do not meet the expectations of the Alsatians. Despite this, Frédéric Bierry and the European Collectivity of Alsace continue to fight for an autonomous and effective region of Alsace.
