Irène Weiss, a member of the Strasbourg Eurometropolitan Council and part of the "Union of the center, right, and civil society" group, has decided to file a lawsuit with the administrative court after her motion was rejected by the council. The motion, titled **"Motion in support of law enforcement, firefighters, educational staff, and CTS agents facing violence related to high school blockades,"** aimed to assess damages to the Strasbourg Transport Company (CTS) network caused by student protests and to consider suspending free transportation for minors convicted of damaging the network. It also called for condemning urban violence and supporting those who had been attacked by high school students or rioters. The motion cited reports from state services, which suggested the involvement of "far-left movements" and groups associated with La France insoumise in organizing the violence. Catherine Trautmann, president of the Eurometropolitan Council and mayor of Strasbourg, rejected the motion, stating it was outside the scope of the council's responsibilities. In a letter to Irène Weiss's group, she said the motion would not be discussed or put to a vote. Weiss challenged this decision, arguing that if Trautmann disagreed with the motion, she could have expressed her opinion through a vote. She believes the issue is directly relevant to the metropolitan area and its responsibilities and should have been debated. The disagreement goes beyond the content of the motion. After tense discussions among group leaders, Trautmann proposed that the motion be put to a vote at the start of the council meeting without any prior explanation or reading. Most elected officials voted against it. Jean-Philippe Vetter, president of the same group as Irène Weiss, criticized Trautmann's approach, suggesting that the refusal to debate the motion was an attempt to conceal internal disagreements within the majority. He noted that the majority includes many elected officials and mayors from the right and center, who might have had difficulty voting against a text that condemns violence and supports public agents. Some elected officials, including Florian Kobryn from La France insoumise, supported the possibility of discussing the motion, even if they disagreed with its content. Irène Weiss sees Trautmann's refusal as an alarming precedent and says she does not want this method of silencing debate to become standard. This challenge comes just days after the Strasbourg municipal council adopted new internal regulations on September 28. The three opposition groups had left the session after their proposals to revise the regulations were rejected. They criticized the changes for limiting their ability to express themselves and propose new ideas, particularly the removal of resolutions and stricter control over additional texts and current issues. Trautmann's majority argues the changes are meant to make debates more efficient and better prepare for deliberations in committees. Similar reforms are being considered at the Eurometropolitan Council, which now plans to impose stricter limits on speaking time and submitted texts, as well as reintroduce a permanent closed committee where certain files can be examined without public discussion.
