Unusual: an elected official asks bars to stop serving alcohol to community workers

In Brittany, an elected official sent a letter to bar owners telling them not to serve alcohol to agents anymore.

A very strange email

The Breton community is in shock. Very recently, drinking establishments have received a very strange letter from one of their elected representatives.
This letter states, "I would be grateful if you would not serve alcoholic beverages to community officers during their working hours. "very funny what!..
So if we understand correctly, the Bretons are alcoholics and lazy.
Louis Leport, Vice-President in charge of waste management, is the one who initiated this message.
The point is why the waste manager is concerned about the level of alcoholism among his agents? Do collection agents collect other things instead of waste? Or do caterers treat waste badly? In any case, it's a matter to follow.
But anyway, this message has hurt a lot in Brittany, this message has depressed the Bretons.
Pascal confides: "It hurt us, this story should have been handled internally. But since this case has been widely publicized, we are considered lazy and alcoholics. " ( according to him they are not alcoholics)
The wife of an employee confides to Actu.fr, the distress of her husband. "My partner keeps telling me, "What will people think?" He has been doing his job for several years with great professional conscientiousness. Today, he is hurt by this letter. What right does a community have to afford this kind of thing? »
The pubs, on the other hand, have been rather surprised and do not intend to start policing. "When they come to my house, it's at the end of their shift. They do what they want, it's their business," insists the boss of Broc Café in Roz-Landrieux. The employees now want to meet the president of the community of municipalities to "dispel the unease".
As the saying goes, the truth hurts. It's a reality, the French drink too much alcohol.
As the French public health agency pointed out, 10.5 million French people consume too much alcohol and this is not surprising for a country where the population is less concerned like France.

I can imagine what such a letter can cause in Africa where alcohol is a motivator.
