A candidate designated for the Mayor of Ezanville is... in prison

He had committed an embezzlement of two million

The Sunday newspapers informed us of the arrest of a man named David Fernandez, who had embezzled the trifle of two million francs to the detriment of the French company "Kotto".

The circumstances of the theft were recounted in different ways and we will be careful not to seek out which of our colleagues most accurately reported the facts. Only one thing interests us, it is that Mr. Fernandez lived in Ezanville, and that he had shown political ambitions there.

This individual of Greek origin and naturalized French, had come to settle down. As soon as he disembarked, Fernandez established relations with the local caillautists. Very cleverly and without making much noise, he recruited members for the Grand Orient of France, of which he was a very influential member, and took an interest in the school fund, to which he made some donations.

Having thus gained some good graces, Fernandez was crowned "king" of the Republicans of Ezanville. And since the radical success of May 11, his cohort considered with a certain pleasure the possibility of making a mayor of the one who is currently vacationing at La Santé.

And this is so true that the editor of a major daily newspaper reports this confidence made to him by an Ezanvillois, certainly a friend of the accused: "What a pity that he committed this "bad trick"; he would have made such a good mayor...

Really, our left-wing people are not very happy in the choice of those they designate to make them personalities, because recently they had also fallen in love with a tender love for an individual who is currently serving several years in prison for fraud.

The crook Fernandez. Mayor of Ezanville by the will of Mr. Herriot's friends, that would have been a great scandal! In the interest of the taxpayers of Ezanville, we prefer to see Fernandez, who was said to be a "man of letters", at the Santé where he will be able to meditate at his ease on "fraternity"
