In an interview, the President of the Collective Daniel Gibbs put an end to the speculations concerning his possible candidacy for the senatorial elections next September.
As is tradition, the Senate elections will take place on the last Sunday in September. If the current senator Guillaume Arnell has never hidden his desire to run for a second term, many have speculated on the candidacy of Daniel Gibbs, the president of the Collectivity of Saint-Martin. Suspected with his vice-presidents, Valérie Damaseau and Annick Petrus of favoritism offenses concerning public contracts and awaiting their summons to the criminal court, the President of the Collectivity has already faced many challenges during his term of office. Irma, the challenge of reconstruction, social reforms, strikes, the PPRN, public contracts. A real succession of difficulties. “Stumbling blocks”, as the President of the Collective likes to regularly remind us. But if "some people try to find me a way out" summarizes Daniel Gibbs, "I have always said that the senatorial was not my objective" he specifies. "To present myself to the senatorial would imply in the name of the law of the non-accumulation of mandates, to leave my post of President of the Collectivity or when I engage in something, I go to the end. I am not afraid of the deadlines to come and I will not shirk my responsibilities. I have embarked on a perhaps complicated mission but I like challenges. So I'm not going to give up when it's the most difficult, when I suffer the wrath of some ... I will not let go, ”he explained in conclusion.
Senator Guillaume Arnell will be a candidate
“I'm just 62 years old. I can still bring to the Territorial Collectivity and its inhabitants ”affirms Senator Guillaume Arnell, candidate for his own succession.
"I remember with what voices of the majority and the opposition I was elected senator in 2014. This forced me to exercise this mandate with humility and without ever deviating from it" pleads the outgoing senator who should soon present the results of his mandate. “Today, the voice of Saint-Martin is audible in the Senate,” he believes.
