AT At a time when the Covid-19 epidemic is in full swing in France, marked in particular by the massive spread of the Omicron variant, a controversy is swelling concerning a reception held by the municipality of a municipality in Finistère, on December 10. As revealed The Telegram, the end-of-year party intended for the agents of the town hall of Carhaix, which was canceled at the last moment for health reasons, would still have taken place, to the chagrin of the municipal opposition.
While this meal generally brings together between 80 and 140 people, only about twenty privileged guests, including deputies to the mayor Christian Troadec and some municipal officials, were invited. Anonymous people point the finger at the large quantity of alcohol present that evening and criticize the failure to respect barrier gestures. “White, red, champagne. There seemed to be no limit, ”one of the guests told the regional daily.
An “orgy”
By means of a press release sent to the media, an elected opposition member, the communist Pierre-Yves Thomas, strongly denounced the actions of the majority, evoking “unacceptable and unspeakable facts” during an evening “which s ‘turned into an orgy’. “We are shocked by what happened, by what is asked of us and by the financial resources committed for these evenings, when we are asked to make efforts and justify the slightest expense. And this is public money. This evening was one too many, ”he added.

The evening, which continued until the early hours of the morning, was also marked by several outbursts. Left in a sorry state, the toilets had to be the object of the intervention of a municipal officer for cleaning and a municipal employee was injured in the face after a fall caused by a heated exchange.
Whereas The Telegram was able to confirm his information, the municipal majority of Carhaix replied to the accusations of Pierre-Yves Thomas by qualifying the press release as “insulting and defamatory”, made of “rumors, gossip and low political attacks”. The mayor, Christian Troadec, did not respond to the requests of our colleagues.
