Snowballs fight in Angers town council over the Saturday open air market

The cancellation of the open air market of Saturday triggered critics of the minority Angers representatives and beyond that municipal circle. After the mobile stores owners expressed their sorrow for that measure and the financial loss it involves, the opposition town councillors choose a more sarcastic mood. "Do we have to give a barometer to Frédéric Béatse, the only mayor of the Maine-et-Loire who didn't forecast the snowfalls of last year, nor the mild spell of Saturday. Last year, he sinned by carelessness. That year, because of an excess of zeal", they wrote in a press release. 

But the most intriguing statement was those of Christophe Béchu, which can't be explained other than he will be candidate to the next municipal polls (2014). According to the president of the Conseil général de Maine-et-Loire, the Angers mayor's decision was "sudden" and let foresee that "he didn't estimated all the consequences for the mobile store owners".

The deputy mayor, Jacques Motteau, is also blamed by the storekeepers who said they were not warned of the Angers town hall decision. The weather conditions will be carefully examined both by the minority and majority sides of Angers council next Saturday, and maybe next year. With such a weather, the chances of snow is uncertain, but the snowballs fights are sure!
