Does The bell has rung for Thierry Lepaon? On the eve of the meeting of the Executive Board (the government of the CGT) provided today and tomorrow with the agenda of the fate of the Secretary General, a real earthquake shook central Montreuil.

On the same subject

Louis Weiya, 81, leader of the 1992 to 1999 Central, who has worked to cut the cord between the CGT and the PCF, decided to wear iron against Thierry Lepaon. He asks, in an interview with “World”, the current Secretary-General (in the hot seat since the revelations about the costly renovation of his official residence, his office and its perceived benefits of the CGT Basse-Normandie) , to make its mandate quickly. This in “grow up”. Because in the eyes of Louis Weiya, the credibility of the Secretary-General is “lost inside and outside” of the union. Never in the history of trade unionism, a former leader was not allowed such a load.

If calls to resign multiply for weeks, he launched yesterday by one of the iconic figures CGT was the effect of the blow. “By proclaiming his desire to remain at all costs in its responsibility, Thierry Lepaon tends to confuse determination and stubbornness,” he complains. Scathing words that activists fro loop yesterday. And especially vitriolic statements dismantling the arguments developed by Thierry Lepaon and his family for his defense: “Certainly the leaks have indeed existed, media pressure also. But no misconduct had occurred, there would be today no leakage or media campaign, “tackles and Weiya.

A discreet meeting before Christmas Eve

Lepaon soldier, who hoped to use the winter break to save his head, is his expense. During the holidays, a dozen emissaries of his inner circle have yet been assigned to deflate the ranks of those calling for his resignation. A sudden phone calls, travel, meetings … Goal: gather around the General Secretary on behalf of the interests of Central and discredit the passage slingers and the press. A collective advantage of the local union of Caen (Calvados), land Lepaon, even tried to start a petition of support. . In vain

A few days before New Year’s Eve, it’s relatives gathered quietly a few steps from the Montreuil central to refine the different scenarios: its maintenance as Secretary General or his resignation, provided they remain within a collegium consisting of several heads. This weekend again, according to our information, Thierry Lepaon reaffirmed want to tempt all out to remain at his post. At least until January 13, when the SCC (parliament of the plant) – which has the power to remove him. – Meets

In Montreuil, at the headquarters of the plant, as in the rest of the organization, the voice of Louis Weiya risks putting the balance of the anti-Lepaon side. “Those who still doubt can no longer hide behind the silence and continue to support it,” says the official. After struggling throughout the month of December, Thierry Lepaon had finally ensure that it gave until January 6 to consider a possible resignation. Did he do now?

Approximations fingered
Fierce discussions were continuing last night in an attempt to an end to the famous internal report intended to shed light on Lepaon business. Written by the seven members of the financial control commission (CFC) – mandated to investigate following the revelations, on October 29, the official residence of Thierry Lepaon – this text should be unveiled today to members of the Executive Board. Its findings are all the more expected by the militants that they are likely to denounce the lack of information from the General Secretary for nearly two months when it comes to his lifestyle. A previous progress report, written in early December, had pointed to “clearly too high” amounts on the work as well as “exaggerated bills” … further investigations to proceed by January, had said the CFC . .. Yesterday, several controls were

His salary For weeks Lepaon stated on all fronts: “I asked to lower my salary when I arrived. “Clearly, the 5 200 € net pay per month over thirteen months offered on arrival (or € 8632 from all social security contributions), he would have seen that € 4,000 net since April 2013. The Committee control checked, vouchers in support. According to our information, if Thierry Lepaon has lowered its wage, it is not since 2013. payslips speak for themselves: the changes were made on the salary of December … 2014.

Its premium. Regarding the bonus granted in March 2013 Thierry Lepaon for his departure from the regional committee of Normandy, and the repayment of five months of wages by the confederation, the Commission has found no trace in the accounts of a sum of € 100,830: 35 000 € for bonuses, salaries and social contributions paid on 2012 and 2013; and € 60,830 in respect of severance payments (including contributions) and € 5,000 for reimbursement of entertainment expenses.

His apartment. The addition of salt works and the layout of the function apartment located at the edge of the Bois de Vincennes, billed a total € 139,000 (€ 105,000 renovation + € 34,000 for furniture, household appliances and decoration), will cover -it overbilling? Although doubts remain, the board does not have the status of elements in the showing. Among the explanations used to justify the high amount of renovation: speed of work involved in the apartment and the quality of materials required by … Thierry Lepaon. Because, contrary to his assertions, it is not “in the press” that the Secretary General would have discovered the amount of the invoice. There is evidence to the contrary that he received as to the progress of information on the site current. Still gray areas on the furniture, because during the visit by the members of the Commission in the wake of revelations in the press, some of the furniture and equipment charg ed were not seen in the apartment. <. / p>

The Office Regarding the expensive work of his office 8th Floor, Thierry Lepaon was repeated again on December 19 in our columns: “It cost € 65,000 because the need to redo the heating and air conditioning. “Problem: the heating is collective and the most invoices is actually due to custom furniture, produced at the request of Thierry Lepaon which yet again claims to have been aware of anything
