The early legislative elections of June 30 and July 7 will see six candidates compete in the Sarreguemines constituency. Among them, Stéphane Marchand, representative of the Reconquest party, took his first steps in politics.
Stéphane Marchand, originally from Waldhouse and father of three children, has a diverse background. After serving in the army and police, he joined a private security company. This year, he is entering politics with a clear priority: improving employment in the region.
I want us to hear the voices of the people below
According to him, the inhabitants of Sarreguemines and Bitche are too often forced to look for work in Germany.
If we could have jobs not too far away, properly paid, not having to go to Germany but to work for France.
”We are isolated and it’s not possible”
For Stéphane Marchand, the territory of Sarreguemines-Bitche is neglected.
We are isolated and this is not possible, it cannot continue like this. I absolutely want this territory to be reinstated in France.
The candidate also highlights the difficulties of young people, the elderly and precarious workers.
Whether it is young people who are forced to do training here and there because there are no jobs, elderly people who end up alone in a nursing home, people who are forced to work several jobs to live decently , I want people who work to be paid correctly.
”If we could have decently paid jobs not too far away, I believe that parents would have more time to take care of their children”
For Stéphane Marchand, improving employment also requires educational reform.
If we could have decently paid jobs not too far away, I believe that parents would have more time to take care of their children.
He is concerned about the level of national education.
The level is falling, we’ve been talking about it for years. You have children entering 6th grade, they don’t know how to read or write correctly, it can’t continue like this. Children are the future of the country, if they do not have education…
”Immigration and delinquency are linked”
Finally, immigration is a central axis of his program.
Immigration and delinquency are linked.
Stéphane Marchand pleads for a much stricter immigration law.
Too many people even in our villages, in Sarreguemines and Bitche, we must stop denying reality. When you have half a million people returning to France every year as part of legal immigration, I don’t know if you realize it. We already see it, in Bitche in certain sectors, in certain streets you have veiled women, I do not want that for my children.
Involved for a year in the Reconquest party in the territory of Sarreguemines-Bitche, Stéphane Marchand hopes that his candidacy will bring the necessary changes for his region.
