À défaut de candidatures uniques sous la bannière de la Nupes, LFI, EELV et Génération. s présentent néanmoins deux binômes. Pour marquer le territoire et prendre date.
Let’s not bring up the « blunder » that caused Nupes to be locally absent from this election. « But it is still a union, based on the Nupes’ program, between FI, EELV, and Génénration. This should not be overlooked, » corrects Sylvie Ferrer, the deputy of the 2nd district, who obviously supports the candidacies of Charles Rocheteau (FI, with Annie Legrand), also the mayor of Bazillac, and Clément Artigue (EELV with Claire Tareau). « In fact, we are true pairs, not temporary alliances. And we rely on the Nupes’ project, which is a programmatic agreement, not electoral. » The proof…

It is necessary to rebalance, currently, the Senate is right-wing and most of the amendments proposed by the Nupes are not examined there, due to lack of representatives. However, this would allow certain laws to progress. It should be noted that 70% of amendments that go before the Senate are adopted. As long as they are examined. Hence the need for rebalancing. Because we do politics to bring about societal change, not just to have seats. » But seats are necessary to bring about societal change…
