François de Canson's tribute to his “guardian angels”

In a national context marked by a 'dizzying period of anxiety', where social violence and international tensions shake our reference points, François de Canson forcefully recalled: 'Being a mayor means, above all, being a reassuring presence. It is the person you look for on a stormy night, when your house is flooded. One morning at dawn when an apartment has burned down.'

SACRED UNION

If the 'joy of living' in La Londe is a reality defended by the municipal team, it relies on a rigorous security network. Therefore, the mayor paid a warm tribute to the women and men who watch over the daily lives of the residents of La Londe: 'I salute the attentive listening of the gendarmerie brigade and the constructive partnership built with the municipal police. This close collaboration between the different law enforcement forces is the cornerstone of local public peace.' The mayor also expressed his solidarity with the firefighters: 'In a time when authority is sometimes undermined, I firmly denounce those who, elsewhere in France, dare to attack our firefighters shamelessly.' Addressing the firefighters directly, as well as the volunteers of the Comité Communal des Feux de Forêt (CCFF), the Protection Civile, and the SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer), he praised their 'self-sacrifice, competence, and composure' under all circumstances: 'These volunteers and professionals constitute the true pillars of municipal resilience.'

RAPID REACTION FORCE

But safety is not limited to uniforms. It is also embodied in the territory's capacity to react to the elements. François de Canson recalled that the Méditerranée Porte des Maures intercommunality is not a technocratic structure, but a rapid reaction force. He cited as an example the floods that recently hit the Cavalière district in Le Lavandou, recalling the region's vulnerability to climate hazards. 'This crisis management demonstrated the effectiveness of resources between neighboring municipalities,' stressed the mayor, who thanked his counterparts and colleagues from the intercommunality for their shared commitment. 'Here, protecting is not decreeing from above. It is deciding as close to the ground as possible,' hammered François de Canson, advocating for a decentralization of trust that gives local elected officials the means to act quickly and well. 'Beyond institutional systems, it is the social bond that cements the safety of La Londe,' insisted the mayor. The pooling.
