Opposition municipal councilor Farid Ben Moussa points out the allocation of subsidies to associations close to councilor Michèle Picard. The Lyon public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation.

“She voted for subsidies for associations with which she shares political struggles and for some which actively participated in her re-election,” he says. In Vénissieux, the PCF majority is largely strong enough to ensure the voting of subsidies of associations of which its elected officials are members.
