Konbini - Léopold Lemarchand était au BDE et comment dire... Ça se voit 👀

Another participant shares their experience as a BDE president, describing it as challenging and advising against joining due to the stress and conflicts involved. They suggest it's better to enjoy events organized by the BDE rather than being part of it.
