His decision was long overdue. And finally, this Saturday June 15, 2024, Alain Dayan, deputy of the former mayor of Tours Jean Germain, announced his candidacy for the legislative elections with, as substitute, Mélanie Bresson. The one who withdrew from the Socialist Party in 2023 thus created a dissidence on the left in the first constituency, where the New Left Front came to an agreement behind the outgoing deputy Charles Fournier (EELV).
“The union of the left” was made “from the Parisian headquarters without any consultation or observation of the field” he regrets. “A Popular Front which is not led by social democracy has been set up, leaving the possibility for Jean Luc Mélenchon to become prime minister. »
In passing, he is offering himself a trial run before the Tours municipal elections in 2026 for which he has already announced his candidacy: “I thought about all the data and like the National Rally (RN) has no chance of being elected in this constituency, I think it is important to defend the ideas that are too absent in Tours. I am running to make the voice of social democracy heard in my city, stifled by the agreements of devices too far from the realities on the ground…” He specifies that in the event of the presence of the RN in the second round, he will call ” obviously “ to blockade.
