The administrative court has rejected the appeal filed against the municipal election in Brétigny-sur-Orge, confirming the validity of the vote and the work of the municipal team.

The administrative court has issued its decision regarding the appeal filed against the municipal election in Brétigny-sur-Orge. The appeal, initiated by Mr. Capacès, a member of Mr. Steevy Gustave's list, was entirely rejected by the election judge.
This decision is described as "excellent news" by the incumbent municipal team, who highlight the seriousness of the initial accusations, including a request for the election's annulment, referral to the prosecutor for electoral fraud, rejection of the campaign finance report, and potential ineligibility of the mayor.
In a detailed judgment, the court examined and dismissed all allegations. The decision echoes that of the National Commission for Campaign Accounts, which in early July had validated the municipal team's campaign finance report without any remarks, a fact deemed "very rare".
The judgment repeatedly notes that "the protestor provides no evidence to support their allegations" or "provides no initial proof." The source text interprets these statements as an indication that "the protestor told tall tales," a situation the municipal team claims to be "unfortunately accustomed to" in the face of "lies spread" by the opposition.
The release of the statement laments the "waste of public money" caused by these "false accusations," arguing that the time and resources of judges and court officials could have been better utilized. The municipal team deems such methods "irresponsible."
With the confirmation of the March election, the municipal team of Brétigny-sur-Orge can now "serenely continue its work serving the residents of Brétigny-sur-Orge." Thanks are extended to all those who made this possible.
