One month before the European election, the government and the majority are deployed throughout France
Like Gabriel Attal, the government and the majority are mobilizing on Thursday, on the occasion of Europe Day, to support the list led by Valérie Hayer, far behind that of the National Rally (RN) in the polls.
The Prime Minister goes to Bréhan (Morbihan) for a “exchange with French people”. He will then visit the Olmix factory, specialist in biosourced solutions for livestock and agriculture, before strolling through Vannes. Why Brittany? “Because it is a European and humanist land, resolutely turned towards the future. And because it is a land which benefits a lot from the investment of the European Union”explains Gabriel Attal in an interview with Telegram.
A region considered key to the majority electorate, which it is striving to mobilize to ward off the polls which show it largely behind the RN and closely followed by Raphaël Glucksmann’s PS-Place Publique list. No RN deputy was elected in Brittany in the frontist wave of 2022 and the presidential majority retains solid bastions there, despite the emblematic defeat of the president of the outgoing National Assembly, Richard Ferrand.
The committee supporting Valérie Hayer’s list is chaired by the former minister and ex-mayor of Lorient, Jean-Yves Le Drian. “Europe is everywhere in our lives”insists Gabriel Attal, who lines up in the Telegram details of European funding benefiting Bretons (digital equipment in schools, Ephad, businesses, etc.).
For her part, Valérie Hayer, who rang the bell on Tuesday “general mobilization” during a meeting at the Mutualité, goes to Bordeaux on Thursday, with the Minister of Public Accounts, Thomas Cazenave, then to Corsica on Friday and Saturday. “We have one month left to tell the French that there is an election on June 9”she explained Thursday on TF1, believing that the campaign was “at a tipping point”. “We have to make the right decisions as Europeans [car] there is a risk of giving the keys to the truck to the far right which could create a minority opposition group or a blocking minority in the European Parliament”.
Around twenty members of the government will also be deployed across the four corners of the country: Christophe Béchu (ecological transition and territorial cohesion) in Loire-Atlantique, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra (sports) and Sabrina Agresti-Roubache (city) in Marseille, Marc Fesneau (agriculture) in Loir-et-Cher, Frédéric Valletoux (health) in Mayotte… Bruno Le Maire (economy) will visit the warehouses of the Bayonne Food Bank.
