The Memory and History Committee drops Bugeaud’s name from a street in Lyon

The “History and Memory Committee” in Lyon, France’s third-largest city, approved by a majority a recommendation to withdraw the name “Rue Bugeaud” from the city, after much debate between supporters and opponents of this decision. The decision was put into effect by the city authorities, who in turn decided to remove this designation amidst political disagreements among elected officials.

The elected and ruling authorities in Lyon (from the Green Party) decided to launch consultations to search for new names for the street, according to “La Tribune de Lyon” on its website on Tuesday, June 23. Opponents criticized the decision for not being subject to consultations, while the committee asserts that a petition was launched against changing the street’s name but only garnered two thousand signatures.
