Since this Saturday, November 16 afternoon, we officially know two candidates declared for the seat of mayor of Montceau. Marie-Claude Jarrot, the outgoing mayor, declared herself very early on, last February, during a municipal council meeting. Isabelle Louis, elected left-wing opposition, has just done the same.
“Today, the standard bearer of the movement, and I will be there on the starting line too! “, she assured Saturday, during a press conference organized in the premises of the PS, rue Rouget-de-l'Isle. “For the moment, I am the only one who has declared that I want to take this responsibility. »
We move forward
Around Isabelle Louis were gathered the representatives of the PS with Sébastien Latino, the secretary of the PS Montceau south CUCM section, but also of the Communist Party and France Insoumise. “This coalition delimits the space of a New Montcellian Popular Front bringing together all the left-wing forces, composed of our parties but not only. » A union decided “after many discussions, and now, it’s good, let’s go, let’s go!” », added Martine Boguet, elected PCF.
But alongside the candidate, no trace of Laurent Selvez or Éric Commeau, the two current “leaders” of the left-wing opposition. “We are calling on associations, left-wing militant forces, to join us,” explained Isabelle Louis, in reference to Énergies Citoyens, an association which has three opposition elected officials on the municipal council. Will this call be heard?
Occupy the space on the left
Bruno Silla of the PCF, very much hopes so: “If we start early enough, it is so as not to reproduce the scenario of 2020. We start as a group to build our political project. » Comments endorsed by Yves Clarisse for LFI: “We no longer want a battle of egos, hence the interest in leaving very early. »
This announcement allows the PS and its allies to mark territory on the left; a little, more or less subliminal message to Cyrille Politi who liked to communicate his desire to take part in the battle on this side of the political spectrum. “There it is the Montcellian NFP which is involved. The space remaining on the left is necessarily limited,” warned Isabelle Louis.
The main axes of the program
A candidate who will, with her comrades, organize meetings to build the program and invite “all left-wing forces” to come together in this collective. The main axes are defined: the expression of solidarity with a housing policy and the Zero Unemployment Territory contract. Security “in its broadest aspect”, the issue of environmental transition or even access to culture.
“We all remember that the goal is to act for the good of Montcellians,” concluded the new NFP candidate.
