Five months after the fall in the elevator, Bruno Solari still feels vertigo. Joined by phone in the torpor of the summer, he interspersed with his words with small nervous laughs and expresses cold anger: “We were defrauded on behalf of the regional council and no one even deigned to receive us. That in the next elections, they do not come to make a meeting towards us, otherwise they will hear me“, Magged this elegant man, with a creaky voice and the false airs of Stéphane Bern.
We rewind. We are at the end of January 2025. At the center of the modest Mazan village hall, the former Vauclusian winegrower is in the opposite mood, literally euphoric. President for a few years of the very confidential Mister and Miss Elegance competition, former Mister Gay France, he believes himself in the middle of a dream. Micro in hand and accreditation around the neck, this long -term unemployed poses in front of a huge cardboard check such as those popularized by television games, on which the South Region logo and a six -digit sum is registered. A gift in times of budgetary restriction: 175,000 euros. It was the dapper Eddie Goujit, vice-president of the region in charge of youth, culture and sport, who came in person to give him this subsidy. So Bruno thought he was doing “A crisis of apoplexy“. “I was holding the person’s hand next to me so as not to fall“, He recalls on the phone, bitter.
Pulled to four pins, Eddie Goujit, proud representative of President Renaud Muselier, was not satisfied that day to play Santa Claus. He also split an exalted speech, hooking the prestigious medal of the order of merit on the reverse of the Bruno Solari jacket.
