Lucien D’Antonio (PS), mayor of Colfontaine, did not hold back from questioning a municipal councilor, Lionel Pistone (C.Plus) in the middle of the municipal council, before the current oral questions. “He literally told me “Mr. Pistone, I already knew that you were vicious, but at this point…”,” the elected official reported to The future. “He was in fact referring to the questioning of the Minister of Education Caroline Désir (PS) by François Desquesnes (Les Engagés) following a problem that I had raised. »

Lionel Pistone had in fact reported to the minister a possible case of political propaganda in schools (a “Lucien D’Antonio prize” was awarded during the CEB), a practice prohibited by the education code.

According to Lionel Pistone, the mayor continued: “Mr. Pistone, when I drop my cartridge, I don’t know if you are going to get up. »

Worried regarding this threat, the municipal councilor filed a complaint on Thursday. “I’ve had flat tires before, I know what some people are capable of. I asked that the police be able to patrol my home more regularly. More generally, these comments are likely to bring discredit on my person: if he has a file on me, if he considers he is aware of something reprehensible, he should act and report it to the competent authorities. But to suggest that he has something on me is to sow doubt in people’s minds. » He continues: “If he hopes to make me leave, it’s a failure. On the contrary, it reinforces my desire to invest in the community, so that things can finally change. »
