the Minister of Sports, Marina Ferrari, will face her ex-ally, the outgoing mayor Renaud Beretti | EUROtoday

“They hate each other!” » Concerning his two “political babies”of whom he had made his first and second assistant, the previous mayor (Les Républicains, LR) of Aix-les-Bains (Savoie) Dominique Dord doesn’t disguise his disappointment. Renaud Beretti, his successor LR at city corridor, and Marina Ferrari, present minister of sports activities, elected MoDem deputy for Savoie in 2022 and 2024, will face one another once more through the municipal elections, in a return match after the 2020 election, to the good dismay of the one who would have appreciated to deliver them collectively. “It’s so absurd. They are two friends. We grew up together”breathes Dominique Dord.

This rivalry is in truth a part of a tumultuous political life in Aix for many years, combined with a number of betrayals, between the Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the Union for French Democracy (UDF). André Grosjean (RPR), to whom Renaud Beretti is usually in contrast, and Gratien Ferrari (UDF), uncle of Marina Ferrari, reigned one after the opposite over the city corridor, since 1969 till the resounding arrival of Dominique Dord in 2001. André Grosjean and Gratien Ferrari had issues with the legislation. The first was convicted twice within the context of his skilled actions, which led to his pressured resignation from the mayor’s chair in 1984; the second was for “illegal taking of interests and breach of trust” in 2000.
