Today, Rémy Dick, LR mayor of Florange in Moselle, talks about the key role that local elected officials had during the movement.

Charlotte Baris: It is Tuesday January 15, 2019. Emmanuel Macron arrives in Grand Bourgtheroulde, a town of less than 4,000 inhabitants, in the heart of Normandy. In the gymnasium, installed in a circle, 600 Norman mayors are waiting for him. The discussions will last more than six hours and all subjects are covered: ISF, 80 km/h, purchasing power, public services, pensions…
That day, the President of the Republic launched the Great National Debate, one of his promises to respond to the anger of the yellow vests. For several weeks, he will travel across France to meet mayors. Everyone must raise the grievances of their constituents, while the president listens and takes notes.
As you may have understood, for this fourth part of our series “Testing the Yellow Vests”, we are going to give the floor to a young mayor, recently elected at the time, who was marked by the movement…
