Some thought that the debate on inclusive writing was no longer relevant. AT
Lavaur, in the Tarn, it returns to the front of the stage. Its mayor Les Républicains, Bernard Carayon, has in fact decided to ban “the use of so-called” inclusive “writing in the official writings of the City,” indicates a press release from this small town of 11,000 inhabitants.
To endorse this decision, on November 30, he had his municipal council take a deliberation which thus modifies the internal regulations of the municipality. A local measure which echoes the “prohibition of its use by the State in a circular from Edouard Philippe, then Prime Minister ”, recalls the one who was the spokesperson for Michel Barnier during the primary of the Republicans.
You will therefore not see farmers or craftsmen in administrative acts or the municipality’s newspaper, any more than authors signing at the town hall. . “This zany use, imported from the United States by the pseudo-culture” woke “, is now accompanied by the digital giants, like Apple, which has just adapted its software to the” midpoint “”, criticizes Bernard Carayon in a press release. There will be no more “iel” in the Vauréennes writings even if this pronoun now appears in the Petit Robert and that it has aroused controversy.
Opposition tackle
Pauline Albouy Pomponne, leader of the opposition Lavaur Citizen was not surprised by this decision. She even thinks she has something to do with it. “I write him emails in inclusive writing and he instructs not to answer me, there is a way to continue. If I made big mistakes in grammar, he might answer me, ”she quipped.
This elected does not make a casus belli of inclusive writing, she therefore abstained with her group, preferring to point out “the non-respect of the internal regulations”. “On inclusive writing, he was happy, I took the opposite view by indicating that the rules are not always respected. It is written there, for example, that all deliberations must be debated in committee upstream, this is the case in 30 to 40% of cases. What matters is that we have other means of inclusive expression “, continues Pauline Albouy Pomponne who assures us” wanting to invest in actions rather than playing political politics “.
