After the speech by the prefect of Vaucluse, Violaine Démaret, this Thursday, which gave the start of the race for wishes to the population, it was the turn of the president of the Department, Dominique Santoni, to enter the running Friday evening, in Cabrières-d’Avignon. An almost immutable political meeting for our representatives that no elected official in the territory would risk deprogramming. And in this little well-rehearsed test, the departmental magistrate hit hard and pulled out all the stops.
It is in the gymnasium of the Calavon college, prepared for the occasion with a cozy decor and subdued lights, that a team of elected officials from local authorities and public authorities, representatives of the military authorities and the associative fabric and economic of the territory, has taken place. Skateboards, kimonos, ping-pong rackets and other sports balls mingled with visitors, supporters for one evening. It was then that Dominique Santoni entered the ring. A real ring measuring 7.8 m by 7.8 m as a platform. And this is indeed the surface area needed to accommodate the delegation of city councilors who accompanied the president.
“Let us be more united and united than ever“
And if the Department’s choice fell on a gymnasium as a venue for this ceremony, or even on a decor worthy of a locker room, it is good because 2024 promises to be tough in this Olympic year. The president hammered it home several times: “Unity and pride will be two values that must bring us together this yeare.” Notions which are intrinsically linked to the field of sport.
“Despite the heavy international and geopolitical context in which we find ourselves at the start of the year, we are approaching 2024 with as much ambition as ever for Vaucluse and Vauclusians. Let us be more united and united than ever in this difficult period, beyond the differences that can divide us. Let’s work together to find solutions, putting aside these artificial divides between rural and urban, seeking shared solutions. To put it in sporting terms, which is appropriate, we all play in the same team, with the same jersey, that of Vaucluse.“, added the former mayor of the town of Apt.
A medical bus for the Sault plateau
In the second part of this timed part of wishes to the population, Dominique Santoni presented the significant stages which will punctuate his plan of attack over the coming months. Around ten major projects are in fact at stake, starting with a reinforced fight against medical desertification. After the recruitment of eight doctors and the opening of three departmental health centers, the community wishes to extend its network even further, is considering other establishments such as in Valréas and will soon launch its medical bus on the Sault plateau.
Other battles that the Department will lead head on: curbing the digital divide, encouraging the elderly to remain at home or better supporting the “disability” like the future Maison de l’Autonomie, in Avignon. A house designed as a place to listen and process requests for allowances and services for people with disabilities or people losing their autonomy. Without forgetting to continue the operation 50,000 trees in Vaucluseto renovate the Bédarrides and Vedène colleges or to increase the number of greenways with the upcoming completion of the Calavon cycle route, in Cavaillon.
Finally, the last battleground, in addition to its desire to support young farmers and modernize the irrigation networks to the tune of 4 million euros this year or to put an end to road traffic jams in Bonpas, the Department wishes to help municipalities in various local projects to which we will return over the months. The game has only just begun.
