Contern commune officials have voted unanimously to leave the Syrdall Regional Initiative and Management Center, arguing that collaboration with CIGR has become increasingly difficult.
Mayor of Contern, Marion Zovilé-Braquet,who is also a member of the CIGR board, said others had been angry with her. On Wednesday morning, municipal officials from Contern heard the testimony of an ex-collaborator of CIGR Syrdall, who reported instances of abuse.
In October, Contern town hall filed two complaints for financial and personnel-related problems. These included harassment, sexual harassment and nepotism. The town hall will now file a six-month notice, so on 1 September it will no longer be an official member of the Syrdall Regional Initiative and Management Centre.
