MARIGOT:--- Following the incident that took place at the Cité administrative, located in Concordia, on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, and given the seriousness of the facts, Vice-President Steven Patrick was removed from his Cadre de Vie delegation. However, he retains his function of vice-president and member of the Executive Council.
“Due to a sufficiently serious incident, which occurred on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, in the premises of the Cité administrative de la Collectivité, rue Jean-Jacques Fayel, I decided to remove my vice-president Steven Patrick from his delegation in terms of the living environment ”. It is in these terms that President Daniel Gibbs justified his decision in a press release.
"After having consulted the members of the Executive Council of my majority on the sanctions to be taken the day after the events, I notified my decision to Mr. Steven Patrick on Wednesday, June 23".
President Gibbs specifies that Vice-President Steven Patrick destroyed, "in a fit of anger" the lock of an office in the Administrative City and had it replaced "to prevent an official of the Collectivity from accessing his office ( …) I am obliged to remove my vice-president from his delegation ”.
The latter, however, retains his functions of vice-president within the majority, registrar, and member of the Executive Council. The decision taken by Daniel Gibbs deprives Steven Patrick of his delegation and of his responsibilities in the field of town planning, development, the environment, and works.
If the President assures us that he understands the differences of opinion, "I cannot accept the manifestation of such violence. This behavior unworthy of an elected official must be punished ". Daniel Gibbs says he regrets "having to make this decision and I know that I can count on Mr. Patrick so that in the future he adopts a behavior appropriate to his position".
