After some hesitation, Sophie Pantel agreed to represent the New Popular Front for these early legislative elections. The President of the Lozère departmental council believes that she “takes her responsibilities” in the face of the risk of seeing the extreme right come to power. His direct opponent, the only candidate from the right, the outgoing deputy Pierre-Morel-A-L’Huissier, accuses him of denying his values. He even made it his campaign axis. She answered him on Totem’s microphone.
“When you’re in caricature, ultimately it’s laughable and pathetic. I think the Lozériens know me, first of all I am someone who works a lot, who has always stayed true to her boots, to her values.
I am various left, socialist sensibility. I have never sold myself to anyone, I am not sure that Pierre Morel could say the same thing. Afterwards I think that’s not the subject, it’s not important.
Today the situation is serious since for the first time the National Rally can come to power. And it would be better for all Republicans to put themselves into action to prevent them from gaining power. »
JEAN-LOUIS BRUN TO TAKE PRESIDENCY OF THE DEPARTMENT
If elected, the law on non-cumulative mandates would push Sophie Pantel to leave her position as president of the Departmental Council. If the vice-president Laurent Suau, also Mayor of Mende and with whom the socialist has some disagreements, has committed not to run for this presidency, a consensual solution has been found.
“It will be change in continuity and above all in serenity. The group collectively decided that my successor would be Jean-Louis Brun, elected departmental councilor for the canton of Langogne. I will obviously remain a departmental advisor.
The potential future president would send me a delegation on structuring projects. This also concerns projects in the field of heritage such as Bondons or Saint Alban. But it is also the projects on water reservoirs.
We have requalification in ski resorts. And then the firefighter civil safety sites too. »
As a reminder, the legislative elections take place on June 30 for the first round, and July 7 for the second.
