Florian Diliberto: "Carqueiranne no longer feels safe"
During a meeting on December 11 held as part of the upcoming municipal elections, Florian Diliberto presented the main lines of his program...
On this occasion, he was accompanied by Stéphane Rambaud, MP for the 3rd constituency, and Franck Giletti, MP for the 6th constituency and departmental leader of the RN. STRANGE CONCEPTION OF DEMOCRACY Before presenting his program to 200 people, he explained the context of this meeting in complete transparency: "I did receive a response from the town hall regarding our request for a communal hall, but five days before our meeting.
And to tell us what? That it was refused for security reasons. Five days before.
After weeks of silence and with a reason that was surprising to say the least. If security was a real issue, why not point it out sooner? Why not suggest an alternative?
Why not look for a solution to allow a normal democratic debate? When I hear the mayor invoke security to refuse a hall, it makes me smile a little. Because speaking of security, given his track record, is not the topic on which he is the most credible.
Is this how a republican opposition should be treated? Is this the idea we have of pluralism, respect, dialogue, and the democratic process?
Fortunately in Carqueiranne, there are still families like the Matyasy. Families who open their doors when others close them. People who think of the village before thinking of politics. Because if we are together, it is also and, perhaps above all, thanks to them," insisted the young RN candidate.
SECURITY, PRIORITY NUMBER 1 Returning to the heart of his subject, he declared: "This December 11 is not just a campaign beginning. It is one generation joining another. The one that built Carqueiranne and the one that wants to rebuild it, protect it, and keep it alive.
It is a passing of the torch. A tribute to those who passed things down, and an outstretched hand to those who will build. This is what Carqueiranne is about.
A story that continues, from one generation to another, from one heart to another."
Then, he addressed the residents' concerns: "We live in a jewel. But it is a jewel that is no longer maintained enough. And it is not me saying this, it is you, in the more than 400 responses to the citizen questionnaire.
450 residents of Carqueiranne who took the time to write, explain, and recount their daily lives, their anger, their expectations, their hopes. And the results are clear. Security is the number 1 concern according to 78% of the residents.
That is almost 8 out of 10 people. An overwhelming figure. A figure that leaves no room for denial.
A figure that tells the truth that some refuse to see. Carqueiranne no longer feels safe.
You told us about burned-out vehicles, street racing, vandalism, tensions around the sailing school, repeated incivilities, and this vague but real feeling: "It is no longer the Carqueiranne of before." This 78% is not a poll. It is a fact.
It is a warning. It is an appeal. And we hear this appeal.
And we will answer it!
Then, Florian Diliberto also raised the issue of local businesses in the town center. Still according to the responses to his questionnaire, 60% of residents make it an urgent priority. More than one in two residents of Carqueiranne told us: "Give us back a lively village", "Give us back a dynamic square", "Give us back a town center where we want to stroll".
You spoke to us about closing businesses, a lack of consistency in development, a square that has lost its soul, a town center that no longer plays its role. And behind these figures lies a very simple reality, because a village always dies from its center. And a village is always reborn through its center.
This is what we propose to revive, to rethink, to breathe life back into, to restore connections, and to recreate a true beating heart."
PARTICIPATORY MANDATE Finally, a message comes up in almost every questionnaire: "We want to be listened to." Not just informed. Not just consulted.
Listened to. This questionnaire proves it. Residents want a town hall that exchanges, responds, explains, and involves the population in major decisions.
And this is the essence of our approach, with a participatory, transparent, and open mandate.
A mandate in which every resident of Carqueiranne has their place. Carqueiranne wants a change. Carqueiranne wants a direction. Carqueiranne wants a team that listens, and a team that acts. And that is exactly what we want to embody," concludes an optimistic Florian Diliberto.
