Le Figaro Nice
In the tumult of political affairs on the Riviera, a Nice elected official close to the president-mayor Christian Estrosi (Horizons) defended himself from rumors and attacks by spontaneously disclosing his income in the regional daily
Nice-Matin
.
In charge of Transport, Gaël Nofri indicated that he received 1734.14 euros from the municipality and 1357.94 euros from the metropolis.
With Le
Figaro
, he takes on this approach of transparency in the face of
“a democracy which is sick”
according to him.
“We're a little tired of hearing that elected officials are profiteers, that's not true
,” he explains.
It’s an educational approach that I take on because no, elected officials don’t line their pockets.”
“I earned a better living before, but I like what I do today
,” the chosen one continues to justify.
Opponents accused him of benefiting from a free and unlimited public transport pass, which his family would also have benefited from.
Assumptions that are
“completely defamatory, we pay for our subscription with my wife
,” he swears.
Gaël Nofri is also president of the “Lignes d’Azur” and “Parcs d’Azur” boards, which respectively correspond to public transport (trams and buses) and community car parks.
This additional function is
“voluntary”
, he adds, tired of these
“controversies”
.

Challenge launched
Following the last metropolitan council, Monday, which concerned the budget, this same elected official from the circle close to the mayor of Nice revolted against the remarks made by Christelle d'Intorni, Maralpine deputy Les Républicains on the opposition benches in the community.
The latter denounced
“the illusion of a balanced budget”
and warned that the community would be
“placed under supervision”
next year.
“A little dishonest music”
for Gaël Nofri, who challenged him to put his mandate on the line, just like his own, by the end of the year and depending on the reality of the accounts at that time .
“We must not confuse personal and political attacks
,” he told her again, annoyed to hear her
“say anything
. ”
