"Valérie Pécresse, the homophobic and anti-immigrant candidate, who wants to dismantle public services"
: we can say that the ecological candidate for the 2022 presidential election Yannick Jadot did not go dead hand in commenting, on Twitter, the election of Valérie Pécresse at the Les Républicains (LR) congress on Saturday 4 December.

The accusation made LR parliamentarians react.
"And Yannick Jadot is a candidate held by an ultra-left 'Rousseauist', communitarian, Wokist, decreasing and neo-Marxist, who wants to deconstruct France"
, retorted the deputy Julien Aubert on his own Twitter account.

“Decidedly, the candidacy of Valérie Pécresse is feared by the entire political spectrum, right-left and even the greens of the extreme left. It must be said that it carries a powerful environmental project
,
”
reacted for its part the senator of Bouches-du-Rhône on the social network.
The interested party also replied on Sunday.
"He uses insult to try to relaunch his campaign
, perhaps to make people forget that he supported Mr. Hulot," she said on the set of the "
Grand Jury
" RTL-
Le Figaro
-LCI.
Maybe also he uses it because it bothers him to have a right-wing candidate who is sincerely environmentalist
. "
But what facts attributable to Valérie Pécresse Yannick Jadot can he base himself on to publish such a virulent attack?
Changing positions on marriage for all and assisted reproduction
"
Homophobic
".
The accusation was raised against the collective La Manif pour tous during the debates on the opening of marriage to homosexual couples, then more recently on the “
PMA pour tous
”.
What relationship with Valérie Pécresse?
"It is the candidate of the Manif for all",
tackled Yannick Jadot this Sunday noon, on France 3, invited to react to the investiture of the candidate on the right.
The person concerned had, in fact, ostensibly participated in the demonstrations of the Manif pour tous in 2013.

In addition, in November 2012, the member for Yvelines had hit the headlines by proposing, on LCI, to repeal the Taubira law: "
We can imagine setting up a civil union statute and transferring the rights [of marriage ] on civil union status. It can be done,
”she justified. Faced with the outcry, she then had to justify herself, explaining that she had "
never proposed to 'unite' anyone
- she was accused of having wanted to '
unite
' homosexuals, Editor's note -
but to transform marriage into a civil union .
"
But Yannick Jadot seems to be a train late. As of 2014, the former minister of Nicolas Sarkozy says he has changed his mind on the Taubira law. However, she spoke out in favor of
"very solid barriers to prohibit assisted reproduction and surrogacy"
in an interview with the
JDD
. Before, again, to change your mind ... to the chagrin of the Manif pour tous! On Twitter, in September 2021, the collective is indignant at this turnaround when the presidential candidate thus declares herself in favor of PMA for all on France 2.
At the same time, the president of the Ile-de-France Region is trying to send positive signals to the LGBT community, for example continuing to provide financial support for the Pride March.
In May 2018, international day against homophobia and transphobia, Pécresse announces that she will
submit
"
a wish to the regional council so that we defend at the UN the universal decriminalization of homosexuality
"
.
Before being accused, on social networks, of political recovery.

The one who is now the Republican candidate for the 2022 presidential election is clearly anxious to rally to her the conservative and liberal fringes of her electorate.
But one cannot note any virulent statement with regard to homosexual persons.
And even less conviction for insult, defamation or discrimination because of a person's sexual orientation.
A strong anti-immigration policy
“
Anti-immigrants
”, tackles Yannick Jadot again.
In this area, Valérie Pécresse displays and assumes a right-handed line.
During her political return to Brive-la-Gaillarde, in August 2021, the president of the region was particularly assertive:
"The place of an illegal immigrant is in a charter to return home,"
she said. she notably declared, assuming that
"order is also a Republic which is not overwhelmed by uncontrolled immigration, piloted by Mafia networks."

As part of her candidacy for the presidential election, she also wishes to include her solutions within the framework of a
"constitutional law".
In this bill, it proposes in particular twelve measures, among which the introduction of quotas, compulsory bone tests for unaccompanied minors, the expulsion of foreigners who have served a prison sentence in France, the restriction of State medical aid for urgent care and contagious diseases, or the fact of making residence permits subject to three conditions. Here again, the LR candidate cannot be accused of "
anti-immigration
", insofar as she militates for its supervision and not for its removal. And even less has she been convicted of an offense of a xenophobic or racist nature.
Elimination of 150,000 positions in the
"administering administration"
“
Dismantle public services
” would be the intention of Valérie Pécresse, accuses Yannick Jadot.
The MEP is undoubtedly referring to a flagship proposal from candidate LR: to abolish “150,000 posts in the administering administration”.
“
The State must refocus on its three priority missions: protect, educate, care, with where necessary additional posts for justice, education and care.
It is not a question of degrading the public service, nor of breaking the recovery
, she qualified however on October 18 in
The Opinion
.
But the expenses must go down
”.

"
If I am elected President of the Republic, my first decision will therefore be to initiate four major structural reforms to lower spending and reduce the tax burden
"
,
she added, listing "
retirement at 65, the degression of unemployment benefits, the debureaucratization of the country and decentralization with a letting go of the state to remove the duplicates
”.
During her victory speech at the LR congress on Saturday 4 December, Valérie Pécresse also reassured her competitor LR Philippe Juvin by assuring: “
Dear Philippe, together, we are going to save the suffering public services.
Few proposals have so far been put forward in this direction by the candidate, if not the timid creation of some 50,000 positions in the field of safety, health and education.
