Denis Lieb is a candidate for the early legislative elections in the Sarreguemines constituency. He knows politics. He was a departmental councilor for Bas-Rhin between 1998 and 2011 and already a candidate for the legislative elections in 2012 for the Unser Land party in Saverne, where he obtained 9.6%. Today, the 56-year-old represents 57-Le Parti des Mosellans. He is one of the founding members. The editorial team received him to talk about his candidacy. The first question: who are you?
Sound N°1 – Denis Lieb, candidate 57-Le Parti des Mosellans in the 2024 early legislative elections
I am an adopted Sarregueminois, I come from Alsace-Bossue [NDLR : Oermingen]and I am a teacher of Economic and Social Sciences at the high school in Sarre-Union.
What is your priority if you have a seat in the National Assembly?
We are regionalists, we focus on local. I’ll take a very simple example: today, this country has a lot of financial problems. Usually, we reduce spending and increase taxes, we are for a reorganization of the country. Mayors, departmental and regional councilors are the best suited to manage this country, so let’s let those who know how to do it and those who are close to the citizen manage.
Another issue, the health that is important to you…
Yes, because I experience on a daily basis the lack of doctors, the lack of ophthalmologists… Concretely, I needed a dermatologist for my son, I don’t know how many dermatologists I had to approach. “Are you patient with us? No. In that case, look elsewhere.” It’s absolutely scandalous, and it’s not how I imagine France in the 21st century.
And purchasing power…
So, purchasing power, when the farmer sells his crop or his animals, he cries, at the other end, the consumer goes to the supermarket, he cries. I tell myself that there is a problem somewhere, and the problem is the intermediaries who, in my opinion, take advantage of their quasi-monopoly situation to enrich themselves, and therefore, there is a real policy to be implemented to reduce the weight of intermediaries, and then, if they exaggerate, revise the conditions in which they operate.
Finally, a few words for the residents of your constituency
I tell them to think carefully, get informed before going to vote. The worst would be waking up on the morning of July 8, with the prospect of having Jordan Bardella or Jean-Luc Mélenchon as Prime Minister.
