In the current economic climate, the Municipalities have a key role to play in ensuring the development of their city. In Port-Bail as in all municipalities of the Channel, we meet the challenges that we know. Our department has been declining for several decades which has affected all regions that had long been predominantly agricultural. Our population is aging, young people do not find a job there. That is why we were elected to carry out in conjunction with the General Council, the regional council and technical assistance services of the state, some achievements that create jobs, building on the strengths nature of the town, including the presence of the sea are planned Thus, for example, work to protect our Havens including a new marina, or the creation of a facility fitness center , whirlpool or spa in compliance with the law. Unfortunately, every project is facing a hostile systematic recourse to administrative courts to prevent or at least to delay significantly, these achievements which are necessary. It is not our intention to challenge the right of citizens to enroll in community life. Moreover we have excellent relations with most of the local associations, even when they sometimes express disagreement on one or another of our decisions. That is democracy. When a minority imposes its law, we are no longer part of normal democratic life. Elected officials of Port Lease yesterday and today, the elected representatives of the Channel have nothing to be ashamed of their behavior in environmental matters. It is only to browse our shores to see how generations of local officials and county have preserved the natural setting and the authenticity of our sites. Only preserve is not enough. You should also know to survive, thus creating, for our common do not become large homes, with no future, and for all generations find their place. Respect for nature was also a cost and try to counteract all forms of economic development of this night, protecting the environment. We can not accept that the efforts of several years of work, with the support of an overwhelming majority of the population are destroyed in this way. We do not confound freedom of expression and will of obstruction. That is why we turn to our fellow citizens solemnly Port-Bail, and, beyond them, the inhabitants of all municipalities in the race and their elected officials who feel solidarity with our fight or who feel the attack. We urge you all to show your full commitment to the projects essential to our development, our economic survival. We appeal to all Governments and parliamentarians, to take the legislation to allow local officials to carry out the achievements they had made to the voters who elected three years ago. Guy Cholot, mayor of Port-Bail
