Alain Espinasse (55), the prefect of Haute-Savoie leaves his position and becomes the chief of staff to Yael Braun-Pivet, the president of National Assembly (Renaissance). It is hereby ended, at his request. The functions of the prefect of Haute-Savoie, Mr. Alain Espinasse (prefect), are now terminated. "He will be called to new duties," could we read in Friday's Official Journal. This departure is at the prefect's request, two years after he arrived in the department.
This was confirmed by the prefecture. Thomas Fauconnier (38 years old), will take over as interim prefecture. Again, the prefecture will determine when the new prefect will be appointed.
