Should the regional elections be held on June 13 and 20, despite the Covid-19 epidemic?
"Yes, but under conditions", responds in substance this Sunday noon Adrien Quatennens, deputy La France insoumise du Nord and coordinator of the movement.
The elected official, guest of BFM Politics (in partnership with Le Parisien), wants in particular that "the public audiovisual sector be used to organize before the deadline three debates between the candidates at the regional level".
He also calls for increased communication around the ballot, by sending a circular a month earlier to remind voters that they are expected at the polls.
“They don't seem to worry much about the fact that a lot of French people don't even know about it,” he said.
Concerning the day of the vote, the deputy proposes in particular that the members of the polling stations be "primarily vaccinated" by then, and that FFP2 masks be placed free of charge at the entrance.
The most fragile people could also be offered a time slot reserved for getting around without risking meeting a lot of people.
All these proposals will be sent to Jean Castex by the middle of the week.
The Prime Minister indicated last week that his preference was to keep the ballot, but that it will probably be necessary to adapt certain modalities.
Rally of the left in 2022?
Once the regional elections have passed, the political class will have even more spirit in the 2022 presidential campaign. Ecologist MEP Yannick Jadot has already called for a rally between the main left forces.
“The discussion has to take place.
Not only do we want it, but more than that we ask for it, ”added Adrien Quatennens, who assures us that he already has a program.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not say: '
Take it or leave it
'.
He said: '
Until the summer, the programmatic discussion is open,
' ”he added.
But the elected LFI could not help but criticize the ecologist, who does not hide his desires to run for the Eysée: “Initially, for many months, Yannick Jadot had said: '
I want in some to create a space between Mélenchon and Macron
'.
[...] Yannick Jadot has changed his mind and he understands that it is difficult to do without the candidate who is best placed ”.
Understand, in his eyes, the leader of the rebellious.
