“Last weekend was very hard for me, with major respiratory problems which led me to intensive care with a life-threatening prognosis,” writes Florian Gallant. It was through a post published on his Facebook account this Thursday evening that the mayor (DVD) of Wissous (Essonne) announced that he had been hospitalized in an absolute emergency at the beginning of the week.
The chosen one had a very bad reaction to anti-inflammatories. “He suffered a sprain with a torn ligament,” explains Laëtitia Hamon, his chief of staff, contacted this Friday. The anti-inflammatories caused abscesses in his throat. He couldn't breathe anymore. »
His state of health becoming more and more worrying, the elected official ended up being hospitalized on Monday. “It’s a miracle,” she assures us. The doctors were really very alarmist. But everything is better now. » Florian Gallant has indeed come out of intensive care. “The latest results are reassuring, even surprising for doctors,” he writes. Even if I will be able to leave the hospital in the short term, I will be under observation/rehabilitation for some time. »
The municipal council will be held without him on Thursday
The care will be provided at home. “It’s difficult for him. He's hyperactive. It's his first term as mayor, he wants to be everywhere. The doctors stopped him for a good week, he absolutely must rest. »
In the meantime, its services as well as the elected representatives of the majority will ensure the proper functioning of the city. The municipal council scheduled for April 4 will be held, but without him. “It’s a bit complicated, it’s the vote on the budget, a delegation that he kept. But his deputies know the file well. And if during the meeting, there are questions that we cannot answer, we will take note of them and we will come back to them at the next municipal council meeting. »
Also this Thursday, April 4, two managers of so-called illegal parking lots at Orly airport located in the town will be tried before the Évry-Courcouronnes court. “It bothers him not to be present.
