The number of the CGT, Thierry Lepaon, accused Eric Lafont to be at the origin of the expenses incurred for the renovation of his apartment. The Executive Board of the CGT meets this very moment to review the bills.
The revelations about spending Thierry Lepaon have at least made a victim: the treasurer of the CGT. Eric Lafont, who validated the expenses for the renovation of the official residence and office Thierry Lepaon, resigned on Tuesday, according to an internal source quoted by AFP. The number of the CGT, challenged internally, had pointed the responsibility of the treasurer after the revelations of the Chained Duck . “A collective fault was committed, which does not mask individual responsibility,” he had responded, clearly involving Eric Lafont. He claimed he had not been himself aware of the amount involved.
The resignation of Eric Lafont is released while the Executive Board of the CGT meets this very moment to consider whether these expenses: 105,000 euros for the renovation of an apartment based rental in Vincennes and 62,000 euros for that of an office at the headquarters of the CGT, depending on the Chained Duck . Also criticized Thierry Lepaon severance pay 31,000 euros he received from the CGT Normandy when he was leaving to take the post of leader of the union.
The Executive Board could convene by December 16 exceptional national confederal committee, which alone would have the power to remove from office Thierry Leapon. This sort of parliament of the CGT is indeed composed of all heads of federations and departmental unions of the CGT. But in the eyes of many in the plant, this option would be catastrophic. “We can not live it to the CGT,” says AFP a leading member of the Executive Committee.
The CGT is concerned about the effect of the succession crisis which could lead to the departure of Thierry Lepaon. He himself had been appointed by default in 2012 after a consecutive internal crisis from Bernard Thibault. Thierry Lepaon, meanwhile, shows no signs of letting go his post. “I will not leave,” he had also warned last week before the meeting on Friday the confederal office, which granted him a reprieve. “I was chosen by default, and it is very hard because you have to govern by default. So I have to stay by default even if it’s hard pace that should not be that revive what was known with the cacophony and war chiefs, “has recognized, from Le Monde , Thierry Lepaon.
