The Mediterranean coastal town of La Ciotat has suffered a mini crime wave involving threats to the maire and gun shots against the mairie and the home of an adjoint maire. Nobody has yet identified the "masked" perpetrators and various theories have been put forward. Could it be a plan to build a car park on the boules pitch (sounds familiar); perhaps a dispute over a planning application; maybe two disgruntled ex-employees. Town hall staff gathered to express their worries and solidarity, wanting their town to lose this gangster image. The report says that (typically) staff preceded the demonstration with a round of new year "bisous" ( and a pot d'amitie after no doubt!).
