Valérie Oppelt is the Renaissance candidate in the second constituency of Loire-Atlantique, that of Nantes.
What is his political background?
Valérie Oppelt, 50, has only known one party, En Marche, imagined by Emmanuel Macron, to conquer the Élysée. “I met Emmanuel Macron when he was François Hollande’s minister, in 2016, during a trip to Vendée, she remembers. I was seduced by his speech on the value of work or on Europe. »
This “centrist” claimed who abhors political labels will very quickly be the En Marche referent in the Loire-Atlantique. “Spotted”, she said, through the entourage of the future President of the Republic, she submitted her candidacy for the 2017 legislative elections, and she was elected. “I had never considered it, I also had a mixed image of the political class”, she confesses.
In 2020, she is trying to capitalize on her experience as a municipal deputy in Nantes. Without success. She was defeated and joined the ranks of the opposition, where she still is. Meanwhile, in 2022, she also loses her legislative district. Faithful “and loyal” to her one and only political family, this member of Renaissance is today trying to take back the Nantes constituency.
What would be his proposal in favor of purchasing power?
Less 15%, starting this winter, on the electricity bill. “It would represent around €200, she calculates. This would come in addition to the end of the tax increase, for example the elimination of the housing tax. »
The measure that is close to her heart if she becomes an MP again?
She cites two: investing in the protection of the most vulnerable, people with disabilities, and working on strengthening the police force. “Because there is a need to respond to all violence,” she justifies.
