“I received my first dose of the vaccine and it seems that it reduces the risk of getting a severe form of Covid-19 by almost a million times… So you are not getting rid of me!
»Coward with a smile, this Tuesday morning, Audrey Pulvar, before beginning her press conference presenting the main lines of her program for the regional elections in Ile-de-France, during which she will lead the Ile-de-France list jointly .
A few minutes earlier, on the social network Twitter, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, who had listened to an interview with Audrey Pulvar on television that very morning, offered to meet her.
An "outstretched hand" after the controversy that opposed them, which the ex-journalist decided to accept.
The police, "an institution that I respect"
“I am glad the minister heard my words. No, I do not consider all the national police to be violent or racist. On the contrary, I support her. It is an institution of the Republic that I respect. Police officers are, I know, targets, facing difficulties. It happens that some behave in an anti-republican way and, in this case, it seems to me, they should be sanctioned. This is what I said this morning and what I have always said. I will therefore go to this invitation from Gérald Darmanin with a purely republican spirit and think that we can now move on. "
What follows is these few flagship measures taken out of the program from its list established to delight the regional council to the outgoing president, Valérie Pécresse (LR), "who does not take enough public transport and campaigns on board. an air-conditioned coach with tinted windows ”.

An attack, among others, which allowed Audrey Pulvar to return to the main proposal: free public transport. But the one that was propelled by Anne Hidalgo, the mayor (PS) of Paris, also spoke about housing. "There are 1.2 million poorly housed people in the region and 750,000 social housing applicants waiting," she recalls. Ile-de-France, the richest of the regions, is also that of great inequalities. The current president has continued to disengage the community, cutting part of the funding for cities that house more than 40% of social housing without forcing those who do not respect the law to increase their stock. Social housing is not Valérie Pécresse's business ”,slice that which wishes in particular to double the credits for social housing and extend the framework of rents to the whole region.
Repeated attacks against Valérie Pécresse
In terms of health, Audrey Pulvar has announced that she wants to be "much more proactive than the current executive".
“Ile-de-France has become the first French medical desert!
More than 1000 doctors not replaced since 2017 ”, insists the candidate.
Who therefore wishes to set up "a regional public service for coordinating the health supply to identify the most urgent needs" and economic and technical administrative support for the 180 health centers that it wishes to open.
The candidate also announces that she wants to relocate the production of drugs and basic equipment (masks, syringes, gowns, etc.).
"The region must make it a strategic orientation for its economic development and support the establishment of new industrial sites in this direction," insists Audrey Pulvar.
The head of the list also focused on the situation of high schools. “So many abandoned establishments! What works never or badly finished! There is a lack of 10,000 places in high schools in Ile-de-France and the situation will not improve at the rate where Valérie Pécresse is facing the problem, denounces the assistant of Anne Hidalgo. Not content with having lowered the general endowment of high schools, the current president has continued to favor those who were already and to deliver new high schools full of poor workmanship. The condition of the building is deteriorating. "
So, it promises the construction of “exemplary high schools” where the canteens will serve 100% organic or sustainable and local meals.
It also promises to invest "more" in high schools by involving the educational community.
To allow dropouts to resume their studies, a “micro high school” should also be set up in each department.
So many proposals and attacks against Valérie Pécresse which testify to a new state of mind, which she defines as "combative", while the polls grant her only 10% of voting intentions.
He has a little over three weeks left to make them lie.
