Legislative: a ministerial post? The mayor of Lyon Grégory Doucet responds

The 2024 legislative elections, anticipated after the dissolution of the National Assembly by Emmanuel Macron, are the subject of a battle to know who will be Jordan Bardella (RN), Gabriel Attal (Renaissance) or Manuel Bompard (LFI/NFP). Prime Minister. As evidenced by the debate broadcast Tuesday evening on TF1.

Grégory Doucet, minister? We asked the question

If the National Rally is favored by the latest polls, the New Popular Front supported by the Union of the Lefts is well placed, ahead of the party of the presidential majority. In the event of an NFP victory in the 2nd round on July 7, ministerial positions will be offered to left-wing figures.

If Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidate for the post of Prime Minister, is not unanimous in his own camp, new names emerge every day to succeed Gabriel Attal at Matignon.

Grégory Doucet, the environmentalist mayor of the city of Lyon, supports the New Popular Front tooth and nail. Would he be interested in a government job? Minister of Ecological Transition? Minister of Housing? We asked him the question this Wednesday, June 26.

“I didn’t raise my hand to apply for a position”

“I didn’t raise my hand to apply for a position. I am mayor of Lyon morning, noon, evening and even sometimes at night… Certainly, on July 8, we will all wake up in a different situation, but I’m not telling you anything there. We are not going to make plans on the comet,” replies the Lyon elected official.

“We have always sought to work in a spirit of partnership with the government. What I wish and what I hope for, you already know. You know my voice on June 30 and July 7 and I have confidence in the New Popular Front [pour porter leur politique au niveau national]. »

Unless there is a big surprise then, Grégory Doucet will still be the mayor of Lyon the day after the legislative elections.
