This Wednesday, October 21st, Mayor Paulette Gougeon met at the town hall with two youths involved in acts of vandalism against public property. The discussion also included Thibaut Azaubert, director of the municipal police.
This procedure, outlined in Article L.132-7 of the French Internal Security Code, allows the mayor to directly remind individuals who disrupt public order, safety, or sanitation of the rules they must follow. It can involve a summons to the town hall and aims to be preventive and educational.
While a formal reprimand is not a criminal penalty, it serves to solemnly reiterate obligations, particularly regarding parental responsibility, and the consequences of behavior that harms the living environment and societal norms.
This initiative is part of the City of Lunel's efforts to combat incivilities and promote citizen responsibility.
