Elsa Marcel contested Bally's statements and claimed that he received nearly 6,000 euros gross as mayor, more than 2,000 euros as president of Plaine Commune, and nearly 800 euros for representation expenses, totaling 9,000 euros per month. She reminded that he had announced during a campaign meeting that he wanted to reduce his allowances, before, according to her, returning to the same level as Hanotin, who had significantly increased them during his term and had been criticized for it. Marcel stated that the debate was about political choices rather than figures. She said that from the beginning, she has defended, in the municipal council, elected officials who can be recalled and who are paid at the wage of a skilled worker. She also criticized the limitations of Bally's institutional perspective, which, according to her, led him to adapt to existing practices, particularly regarding the allowances of elected officials and the LBD. #Politique #Élus #Transparence (translated)
