JM Thevenet Out at Angouleme?

BDZoom.com has a report on behind the scenes board tensions with the Festival International de la Bande Dessinee, better known by its location: the Angouleme Festival, or simply Angouleme. Although the article's in French, it seems what's essentially happened is that JM Thevenet has looked into a city festival positiion causing at least one other board member to declare himself a candidate for Thevenet's replacement. More than any of the details, which I may have wrong, I just sort of like that this kind of thing is actually news.
Francois Peneaud writes in to correct me:
Just saw your post about Thevenet.
First thing: only the photo is by Didier Pasamonik, the text is unsigned [CR: now corrected]. We've got a more detailed article at actuabd, by Didier, this time:
What happened is that Thévenet was seemingly also involved in a contemporary art biennale in another town, and the Angoulême board fired him. Thévenet says he was only a consultant, so things will probably go to court.
It seems, as you said, that there's a candidate to replace him, but it's far from done.
Thanks, Francois!
