She arrived a little on tiptoe, surrounded by Marine Tondelier. In Épinal, the arrival of Lucie Castets at the “universities of ecological ruralities” certainly attracted people to the Cours space, but we were far from the summer excitement, where each of her trips was made to the sound of standing ovations.

The reason for the visit of the “candidate” of the NFP for Matignon, this Saturday afternoon, in the Vosges? Participate in a round table: “Revitalizing territories through public service. »

Yesterday was his potential candidacyduring the next partial legislative election in Isère which was “devitalized”. The reason for his renunciation is an open secret. Lucie Castets wanted to sit, in the event of election, successively in the different political groups of the NFP in the Assembly. La insoumise wanted her to sit in its group, because the former deputy came from its ranks.

Does she therefore give up trying to get involved in suffrage? Will it study other avenues for local establishments? “It’s not a job like any other, MP,” she told Match. The activists wanted this but I am not on the lookout. I really wanted to take part in the election, I think it’s super important, I was ready to go. It’s a shame that we didn’t succeed. But I’m going to take this opportunity to rest a little…”

Without an elective function, its overhanging position – or link of the NFP, it depends – is weakened. Isn’t an election the essential condition for its political anchoring? “It would be good but there are plenty of other ways of doing politics,” adds Lucie Castets. There are many things to do when you are not elected…”

The thirty-year-old refutes having a “personal ambition” and does not want to “weigh in principle. There are a multitude of things to do in the name of unity. People expect the NFP to continue to live. »

The end of his ambitions for Matignon?

And if the Barnier government falls, will she still be the natural NFP candidate for Matignon? “I already said that we had moved on to another sequence. We are in an opposition phase, I am working with parliamentarians to do some substance. And with organized civil society, it also continues. If the question arises again to be Prime Minister, and if they believe that I am part of the solution, I would be willing to play that role. But if they agree on another name, I’m OK with that…”
