The French Mileistes reported having long seen comments accusing David Lisnard of being particularly repressive during the Covid crisis. Living on the Côte d'Azur and working in Cannes, the author stated that he went to the city every day outside of confinement periods and was then worried about what he perceived as an authoritarian drift justified by health reasons. The author explained that Lisnard, the mayor of Cannes, had not convinced him at first. However, he remembered a piece by the mayor published in Le Figaro during the crisis, where he, according to his account, criticized bureaucracy, cited Tocqueville, and denounced the constraints related to movement certificates. This stance gave him moral support while he read authors from the Austrian School of economics and worried about freedoms. The French Mileistes also reported that a bookstore in Cannes, located near their office, had remained open despite the bans and had garnered attention in the national press. According to the author, Lisnard had publicly supported it, went there to buy a book, and asked Roselyne Bachelot to stop its forced closure by the National Police, without success. The author described him as one of the few elected officials to openly defend this type of local resistance and indicated that he had also accused Emmanuel Macron of using the vaccination pass for political purposes. The author acknowledged that Lisnard had also had beaches sprayed with hydrogen peroxide and actively supported vaccination. He believed that the mayor had favored targeted, anticipated, and local measures rather than general restrictions, and presented the Covid period as proof of his courage and sincerity. He concluded that he would not forget that Lisnard had, in his opinion, defended freedoms while almost all other elected officials turned away from them. #Liberté #Politique #CôteDAzur (translated)

David Lisnard indicated that Cannes' debt was expected to have decreased from 83.5 million euros by the end of the year, compared to a decrease of 81.5 million previously planned. He attributed this result to the method applied since 2014. He stated that the municipality had never increased local tax rates and had even reduced them last year. According to him, the reduction in debt benefited taxpayers and future generations. He also highlighted the modernization of municipal services, particularly through artificial intelligence, as well as a tenfold increase in self-financing capacity to support investments and aid for vulnerable individuals. Lisnard added that these results had been achieved despite, in his opinion, the increase in state tax levies on municipal finances and the challenges encountered. He concluded that Cannes was progressing and succeeding. #Cannes #Dettepublique #Gestionmunicipale (translated)

Chicago Boy indicated that he had discussed that very morning with a Parisian leader about David Lisnard. According to him, the Parisian milieu despised him, reducing him notably to his image of a "Cannes redneck" and his jogging. He believed that this contempt could serve Lisnard and that he should rely on a discourse in favor of a return of power to the provinces and decentralization. He clarified that this would not be a discourse against the elites in general, but against the Parisian elite, which he described as disdainful and incompetent. #Politique #Décentralisation #Elites (translated)
