She started at Youth National Front. Candidate for a legislative first in 2002 in Paris for the National Republican Movementshe then joined Reconquestfor whom she presented herself in 2022 in Yvelines (Mantes-Limay) before being elected, on July 7, in Val-d’Oise under the National Rally label. Anne Sicard57, is now the far-right MP for the first constituency.
She made her first public appearance on July 14 in Pontoise, during the departmental National Day ceremony, alongside the mayor, the prefect and other elected officials, then at the commemoration of the Liberation.
She was the only parliamentarian present at the installation of the new bishop of Val-d’Oise.
We also saw him in the cart of elected officials of the traditional Harvest festival, in Sagy, in Vexin, at the barbecue of the Union of Mayors, at a change of command at the Persian rescue center, at a awards ceremony from the departmental equestrian committee in Beaumont-sur-Oise, but also at the Us market, at the forum of Marine associations… She occupies the field.
For the moment, I’m soaking up the territory
“While working in the Assembly, I want to be an elected official who listens to the population,” declares the one who ensures she receives “a good welcome from the elected officials.”
She is questioned on issues of security, illegal dumping, heritage protection, etc.
Requests will soon come relating to mobility, education, youth, employment, precariousness, old age, health, etc.
“Residents come to talk to me about their housing, transport and security problems,” confides the parliamentarian.
She will have to be attentive to what comes back to her from the field.
“For the moment, I’m soaking up the territory. I am still looking for a place to set up a permanent office. Preferably in Vexin. I also plan to hold meetings in the municipalities, as was the case with the deputies who preceded me,” promises Anne Sicard.
I am not in the identity movement
Unknown in Val-d’Oise, the formerattached to the cabinet of Marion Maréchal is less so since his last electoral campaign, where his proximity to the ultra-identity movement was mentioned.
She was the training manager of the Iliade institutea circle of ideological reflection which advocates “the defense of European identity”, in the face of the migratory surge.
However, it is she that a majority of voters chose to represent them in the assembly.
“I am not in the identity movement,” she defends herself. I was a volunteer at Iliade, which is an association for the transmission of our European culture, through philosophical, historical and geopolitical reflection. From now on, I am no longer there and I am devoting myself to my role as a deputy,” she concludes on this question.
She is now a representative of the Nation in a region where figures of the Resistance lived such as Joseph Kessel, who died in Avernes, Emmanuel d’Astier de la Vigerie, who rests in Arronville, or even the collaborationist pamphleteer Henri Béraud, who resided to Moussy and Pierre Pucheu, minister under Vichy, born in Beaumont-sur-Oise.
A local past which gives food for thought for the former history-geography teacher, who became an MP.
“Le Vexin, as elsewhere, is the reflection of France in all the controversies of its history and differences of opinion,” analyzes the ex-teacher.
Transmitting historical and cultural heritage has been her job, it is still her mission since she joined the cultural affairs and education commission in the National Assembly. She stays in her domain.
In Val-d’Oise, it benefits from a political history which benefits it all the more. “The National Front is not an enemy, it is a competitor,” said, thirty years ago, Michel Poniatowski, who was the first deputy for Val-d’Oise in the territory that Anne Sicard now represents. .
The former Republican minister was in favor of an alliance with the far right. A “historical controversy” which is confirmed.
“My electoral campaign was part of a union of the rights. We captured voters, Republicans who understood that the deputies of the National Rally, like those related to them, like me, were elected officials who could really work for their territory,” she recalls of her election. Now she has to prove it.
The only thing that leads me is the territory that I represent
Representative of a radical right, she defends Christian values. She therefore heard the message from Monseigneur Benoît Bertrand, calling to “serve concord and peace”.
She arrives at the same time as the new head of the Church in Val-d’Oise, who announces that he wants to reach out to all populations. She is committed to doing the same.
“Humans motivate me. I like direct contact. Even more today, the only thing that leads me is the territory that I represent,” affirms the one who claims to have a policy of proximity.
“Ruralism has an attachment to the land that the National Rally defends. Rural areas are more right-wing than urban areas. The inhabitants of Vexin do not want their living environment to transform into Dalle d’Argenteuil.”
Without a doubt, the first constituency of Val-d’Oise is well to the right.
