Julien Bony répond à Olivier Bianchi sur Clermont Capitale de la Culture #clermontferrand

Metropolitan Council Meeting of June 26, 2026 – Julien Bony's Response to Olivier Bianchi on Clermont-Ferrand as European Capital of Culture In this 12-minute excerpt from the metropolitan council meeting of June 26, 2026, Julien Bony responds point by point to the explanations given by Olivier Bianchi regarding the management of Clermont-Ferrand as European Capital of Culture. During his intervention, he addresses several elements that he considers indicative of significant dysfunctions: a board of directors that met only 6 times in 4 years; a president who succeeded Olivier Bianchi but only attended one meeting; a legal structure different from the one initially approved by the elected officials; the appointment of the director outside the association's statutory framework; questionable expenses, including an artist invited three times in the same day and a restaurant bill reaching €1,600. Beyond the question of responsibility, Julien Bony raises a fundamental question: were the 7 million euros of public funds allocated to Clermont-Ferrand as European Capital of Culture used with the expected rigor? This video does not represent the entirety of the debates. The full version of Olivier Bianchi's explanation is also available on the channel. #ClermontFerrand #ClermontAuvergneMétropole #MetropolitanCouncil #JulienBony #OlivierBianchi #ClermontCapitalOfCulture #PublicFinances #LocalPolitics
