The mayor said he was outraged when he discovered that one of the American singer’s shows in the city had already been sold and the tickets were sold out. “Is it serious that that guy announces a big show without having the approval of the city hall? Did no one from the city council authorize it? No! On the contrary. I personally denied it when they announced it. I also have a printout of the conversation,” he said in an interview given to GShow,
“Really brave. When I saw Tuesday 7th they had already sold. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when they announced another show on the 5th. They were trying to create a fait accompli. Total abuse. TRE itself will speak out,” he said. completed.
