Alain Rinchard lives upstairs from his café, located on the banks of the Meuse, almost in the shadow of the town hall. Officially, understands the elected official of the opposition. Because according to him, and even if it is impossible for him to provide absolute proof, Alderman Rinchard would in fact live regarding twenty kilometers from Dinant, in the French town of Givet.“One thing leading to another, we checked”. With the means at hand. A bell in the name of Alain Rinchard and his wife is indeed on a building on the Place de Méhul, in Givet. His car is there in the evening, and in any case when opponents have gone to check. Nice atmosphere in Dinant, definitely. But within the LDB, it is considered that denouncing illegality, even suspected, is the duty of an elected official. Because a municipal representative must live in the municipality where he sits, it is the law. A fake direct debit is not enough. In the minority, we are almost convinced that Alain Rinchard arrives at his bistro (his home) in the morning, and leaves in the evening.
“I expected attacks, but not this”
Contacted by us, the alderman Alain Rinchard, who had just been called by a colleague from the press, categorically denies, without getting angry. Comments:“It makes me laugh. We only see that in Dinant. It’s nonsense. My wife actually has an apartment in Givet (she’s French) we go there from time to time, but it happens less less often. I live in Dinant. I have been in this building for 20 years. I even take deliveries for my neighbors when they are not there. I am seen in Dinant at all hours, much more than some aldermen of the past. I have meetings almost every day, until 8 p.m. or 9 p.m..
Conclusion:“I expected attacks from the LDB, but not this. It’s unfortunate”.
