Re-elected MP since 2017, before being appointed to the government a year ago, Aurore Bergé (Renaissance) is relaunching in the legislative race with the presidential majority.
“Honestly, I did not think long before deciding in view of the national context”, slips Aurore Bergé, who is again seeking the mandate of deputy for the tenth constituency of Yvelines for the presidential majority. “It was obvious to go back into battle.”
Legislative elections 2024: the candidates
The words are precisely weighed: “I feel this notion of battle much more than in previous elections, faced with the rise of the extreme right. It imposed itself on me in a fairly obvious way.”
Re-elected MP since 2017, then appointed to the government as Minister of Solidarity and Families then Minister Delegate for Equality between Women and Men, Aurore Bergé has made her commitment and attachment to the territory her trademark. “In our south Yvelines, I have confidence. Since 2017, I have had the chance to build relationships and trust with the inhabitants of the area.”
When he arrived in the government, it was Philippe Emmanuel, replacement, who held the mandate of deputy. For this new election, she forms her pair with Anne-Sophie Ronceret, “who has worked alongside me for six years”.
No certainty
It is following “an express campaign and a complex national climate” that Aurore Bergé hopes to remain MP for her constituency. During the European elections, for the first time, the National Rally took over Yvelines. In Rambouillet, the list carried by the presidential majority reached 16.94% of the votes cast, three points less than the National Rally. In 2022, during the legislative elections, Aurore Bergé qualified with 63.27% of the votes, against the candidate La France insoumise-Nupes, Cédric Briolais, also nominated this year by the New Popular Front.
“More than aware” of the issues at stake in this election, the candidate explains “not having any certainties. This is the principle of an election by definition. In 2017, everyone thought that I was not even going to win first tour I was elected and re-elected in 2022. I hope that this relationship of trust with the inhabitants of the territory will mean that, two years later, they will still want me to be their deputy.
