Julien Lassalle will wear the colors of the New Popular Front during the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7 in the 3rd constituency of Tarn. Presentation.
A very involuntary nod to the location of the press conference of the candidate of the New Popular Front: it was the Renaissance hotel, in Castres, which hosted the meeting this Monday late in the morning.
It’s all for a smile: Julien Lassalle, 43, a railway worker at the SNCF, is aware of being “in a moment in the history of our country. It’s about preventing the extreme right from taking possession of the Republic.”
The one who was already a candidate for the 2022 legislative elections is convinced that the New Popular Front is the only “exit door to the top” from the current crisis. Alongside his deputy Valérie Perrin (Génération. s), locally elected in Labastide-Rouairoux, Julien Lassalle, elected in Saint-Sulpice, wants to rely on the components of the alliance of the left. “We must take stock of the need to come together,” explains the person representing LFI. “We are the candidates of the New Popular Front and its components!”
The path to appeasement
Thus, LFI and Generation. s but also the NPA, the PS and the environmentalists were present to support their candidate. “Today,” explains Julien Lassalle, “it’s people’s daily lives that are important: medical shortages, small pensions, energy bills…”
It is for this reason that he believes that the question of the A69 motorway should not represent the heart of the campaign in this 3rd constituency. Of course, the left-wing candidate approves the direction taken by the NFP program, namely a moratorium on major highway infrastructure projects: “This is the path that must be taken, that of appeasement: moratorium , appeasement, dialogue. May justice do its work.”
Julien Lassalle’s campaign will therefore not focus on the theme of the A69. “We have to gain height, it’s a national campaign,” concludes the candidate, recalling that “we will have to work for the territory, whatever the disagreements.”
