The right defends itself and takes its time. The Ardeche opposition group, which is left in the Department, denounced the new management for aid to territories that was implemented by Olivier Amrane's (LR) new majority. He criticised the right for repeatedly putting off the implementation of the new regulation that would distribute the funds to the detriment the municipalities.

Generation Terrain, led by Max Tourvieilhe and Proximite aux coeur de l'Ardeche (SE), defended their decision on Friday, May 27. We relied heavily on the extensive consultations with mayors to build these devices and create simple, flexible regulations. "Nearly 80% of the municipalities took part, says the majority.

"It is also important to remember that the mayors have never met at Hotel du Departement during the 23 years of socialism. The traditional day of mayors, which will be held on June 20, should see the presentation of the new devices.

The new departmental majority, for its part, denies that aid has been granted in the past two years without naming the amount.
