"It is not possible to promote the results of the activity of the Region with public money
", criticized Julien Bayou Tuesday, April 27 at a press conference.
The head of the EELV regional list in Île-de-France targeted the outgoing president, Valérie Pécresse.

Julien Bayou assured to have a
"long list"

The two most significant examples are, according to him, the printing and the distribution in mailboxes of three million 14-page leaflets extolling the record of Valérie Pécresse (Libres !, ex-LR) with the logo of the Region. , and a communication by Île-de-France mobilités, an organization of which she is president, on new trains delivered after the end of the mandate.
"All the actions"
that Valérie Pécresse leads
"since September 2020 are done in strict compliance with the legislation in force"
, replied to AFP the entourage of the president Libres! (ex-LR).
"Mr. Bayou is not offended when the president of the department of Val-de-Marne
(the communist Christian Favier, editor's note)
puts his photo on all the computers given to schoolchildren in Val-de-Marne, I do not see where the problem is »
, Retorted Alexandra Dublanche, Vice-President in charge of Economic Development, who represented Valérie Pécresse during a first debate organized Tuesday between the heads of the lists.
"This time, we signaled to the Commission upstream of a campaign to avoid having to organize a protest downstream"
, after the elections,
"and risk its cancellation"
in case of victory of Valérie Pécresse, underlined the national secretary of EELV.
"There are a few dozen days of campaign left, we want it to take place on a level playing field
,
"
said the ecologist.
