A 54-year-old computer scientist from Vergèze and activist with Lutte Ouvrière for over 10 years now, Valéry Fourmi has decided to enter the race for deputy in the 3rd constituency of Gard under the label of Nathalie Arthaud’s Lutte Ouvrière movement. . Never a candidate for legislative elections, he was the deputy in 2022 for Stéphane Manson, in the 2nd constituency of Gard.
Valéry Fourmi’s objective is to “make the ideas of Workers’ Struggle known and allow citizens to take ownership of them”. These citizens “from the camp of workers beyond nationalities and religions”, must “become aware”, according to Valéry Fourmi, “of the force they have in their hands to produce national capital”.
Regarding his program, Valéry Fourmi promises “if he is elected deputy” that he will vote in favor of measures “which seem good to him” and against those “which seem harmful to him”. Such as the indexation of salaries to inflation or the outright ban on dismissals.
“I do not see myself as a deputy”, however concedes Valéry Fourmi, who says “to be realistic whereas in 2022, Jean Egéa candidate Lutte Ouvrière had obtained 0.6% of the vote”.
Locally, Valéry Fourmi announces that he is abstaining from the possible establishment of an SMR in Marcoule and the future of the Gard nuclear site in order to put “the common interest” first. On security and the fight against insecurity, the Lutte Ouvrière candidate intends to “focus on the fight against social insecurity” calling for the creation of “a feeling of belonging to the working class”.
