After the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting held Saturday morning at the Mondercange thermal baths, it is evident that André Heinen, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, will step down from his position.

Following months of contention over CMCM mutual health fund management, the situation is now shifting.

Heinen, who found himself in the 17th and final position, expressed disappointment: "Yes, I am disappointed, of course," acknowledged the outgoing Chairman.

He wasn't surprised, however, attributing what he termed a coup against him to credible sources portraying him negatively across the fund in recent weeks. He cited Gilbert Goergen as the orchestrator of the alleged coup, which successfully saw their reelection to the Board of Directors.

Gilbert Goergen views these changes positively, noting that five of the thirteen incoming members are new—a promising start for him. "The major disagreements clearly stemmed from differences between Mr. Heinen and myself," he stressed, lamenting the ineffectiveness of such confrontations in tackling real issues.

A key point of contention was the character of CMCM's General Manager, Fabio Secci, whom most staff had reportedly been dissatisfied with since 2020. Accused of haggling, favoritism, and nepotism in a letter, Secci faced Ministry of Social Security condemnation by the end of March, casting CMCM as a victim.

"If it were up to me, Fabio Secci would have left long ago," Heinen remarked, having attempted but failed to implement significant consequences. Despite this, the majority of the Board stood by their chairman, citing ongoing confidence in a March 1st Executive Board letter.

"I don't believe everything written in the newspapers must be followed, but dialog with the staff is crucial before addressing other matters," noted Goergen. The new Board announced plans to convene on July 3rd, potentially electing a new chairman once the Council is established.

Raymond Wengler, a former council member, observed that the coup's success could propel CMCM forward. "If one bad apple in the bunch starts to rot, it should be removed. I would have done so," he commented, predicting a bleak future for CMCM unless changes are made.

Wengler feared CMCM might have only five years left, foreseeing possible CNS takeover or ministry intervention due to ongoing disputes with insurers, often linked to Fabio Secci. Despite these challenges, both Goergen and Heinen expressed optimism about CMCM's current state, praising staff performance and reassuring members.
