In response to recent violence across the country, the Mayor of Pujaut, Sandrine Soulier, will participate tomorrow at 6 PM in a peaceful gathering in front of Avignon's town hall, accompanied by municipal council members.

This rally, organized at the call of Olivier Galzi, Mayor of Avignon and President of Grand Avignon, aims to reaffirm commitment to the values of the Republic, respect for people and property, and civil peace. The Mayor of Pujaut will be joined by municipal council members.
In this context, Sandrine Soulier emphasized the importance of recalling the commitment to living together and respecting republican principles. Although the Association of Mayors of France has called for gatherings in front of town halls, she deemed it more appropriate to mobilize in front of Avignon's town hall, in solidarity with the central city which has suffered numerous acts of vandalism.
She invites all those who wish to uphold these values to join this gathering, stressing the need to remain united and supportive.
