Christophe Carlier

Christophe Carlier is the newly elected mayor of Fresnes, a town in the Val-de-Marne department of France. He assumed office on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Carlier's election is newsworthy due to the recent vandalism of the Fresnes town hall. On the eve of the new municipal council's installation, a group of approximately twenty individuals, with their faces concealed, attacked the building. They fired mortar rounds at the town hall, forced entry, and proceeded to vandalize several rooms, stealing furniture in the process. Carlier has condemned the attack, stating that it was "clearly linked to the election" and lamenting the "colossal" damage inflicted on the town hall's services. The incident has shocked residents and underscores the tense political climate surrounding the election results in Fresnes.
