Michel Hardelay elected mayor of Vierville-sur-Mer

After the election of two additional councillors, Hélène de Bellaigue de Bughas and Jean Olard, the entire municipal council of Vierville-sur-Mer meets to appoint a new mayor following the death of Mr. de Bellaigue de Bughas.

The oldest councillor, Michel Hardelay chairs the meeting and recalls the modalities of the vote. He was elected in the first round, by a large majority, with nine votes. Mrs. de Bellaigue de Bughas and Pierre Legallois each get a vote. At the age of 65, Michel Hardelay returns to a position he held for eighteen years. He joined the council in 1947 and became mayor in 1953. In 1971, he refused to be re-elected at the head of the municipality, while accepting the position of second deputy mayor.

Pierre Legallois was reappointed as first deputy mayor in the first round, with seven votes. Mrs. de Bellaigue de Bughas and Jean-Marie Oxéant each collect two. A merchant, municipal councillor since 1953, Pierre Legallois had already held this position since 1971.

The youngest member of the board, Jean-Marie Oxéant, a 26-year-old educator, was elected second deputy mayor in the first round with six votes. Mrs. de Bellaigue de Bughas gets four and Mrs. Dumont one. Jean-Marie Oxéant has been a member of the municipal council since 1977.
