Postponement of FFR elections: opposition to Laporte could go to administrative court

In the columns of La Montagne , Jean-Marc Lhermet, number 2 on the Ovale Ensemble list, confirmed that the list of opposition to the outgoing president of the FFR Bernard Laporte did not give up asking for the postponement of the elections for the presidency of the Federation. Ovale Ensemble wanted the elections scheduled for October 3 to be postponed, arguing that the campaign had not been able to take place normally because of the health crisis. The CNOSF had deemed this request "judicious" but the FFR then announced that the elections would be held on October 3.

“We didn't give up. We asked the ethics and professional conduct committee of the federation, which proved us right. But he has no decision-making power. We went to the CNOSF which just found our request judicious. However, the FFR persists in wanting to organize the election on October 3. We reserve the right to go further, to the administrative tribunal for example. The electoral campaign having been interrupted then disrupted, it seems normal to us in order to respect the electoral code (9 months of campaign) to postpone the date of the election to December, ”Jean-Marc Lhermet declared to our colleagues at La Montagne .

"We are 53 years of average age, which is young for a federal election"

In addition, Jean-Marc Lhermet insists on the youth of the 38 names proposed by Florien Grill for the Ovale Ensemble list. “We wanted to mark a form of novelty with a very young team; we are 53 years of average age, which is young for a federal election, indicates the former third line and leader of Clermont. Many people have never been involved in previous federal mandates either. Our list is 95% renewal with people who embody our program. ”
