Presidential: this MoDem mayor of Yvelines calls for sponsorship beyond sensitivities

2022-02-14T16:24:34.110Z


As part of François Bayrou's approach, the mayor of Villepreux Jean-Baptiste Hamonic wrote to all the mayors of the department


Like the leader of his party François Bayrou, the MoDem mayor of Villepreux (Yvelines) Jean-Baptiste Hamonic calls for the sponsorship of leading candidates in difficulty via the "sponsorship bank" on notredemocratie.fr.

At the end of last week, the 30-year-old elected official, who is also the referent of his political formation in the Yvelines, split a long email to the address of all his colleagues from the Yvelines to detail his position guided according to his words by "the duty to keep democracy alive", knowing that almost one in two has not yet granted his signature.

"What I'm saying is that it's a transparent approach," explains Jean-Baptiste Hamonic.

Sponsorship does not mean support.

And it is essential that the main candidates, who today represent important currents of thought in the population, are present in the national debate”.

It is for him “to avoid creating a state of frustration and mistrust with regard to the system”.

A climate "that we see coming" if the election "takes place without them".

"I could have given my sponsorship to Fabien Roussel"

They are therefore the candidates who flirt with the 10% of voting intentions but for whom the race for sponsorship remains an obstacle like Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Marine Le Pen or Éric Zemmour.

Jean-Baptiste Hamonic, however, defends himself from the slightest acquaintance with the three applicants to the Élysée.

“But I think we have to be able to fight them during debates and at the polls,” he explains.

According to him, the current system is "imperfect", in particular because it prevents sponsoring anonymously, thereby creating certain obligations.

Note that if the mayor of Villepreux encourages his colleagues to go beyond sensitivities, he will sponsor him well... Emmanuel Macron.

“I sent my sponsorship a long time ago, he defends himself.

There, it is the context that pushes me today in this approach”.

And the chosen one to support: "I am absolutely not a communist, but for example I could have completely given my sponsorship to Fabien Roussel because I find it important that this current be represented".

Valérie Pécresse very supported in the Yvelines

To date, it is especially the “big ones” who have the favor of the sponsorship of the elected officials of Yvelin.

Starting with Valérie Pécresse.

Originally from Yvelines, the LR president of the region has 74, including that of the DVD mayor of Versailles François de Mazières or the president of the Senate Gérard Larcher.

Follows Emmanuel Macron.

The current tenant of the Elysée has 26, including that of the LREM mayors of Houilles - Julien Chambon - and Verneuil-sur-Seine - Fabien Aufrechter -, DVD mayors of Saint-Germain and Poissy Arnaud Péricard and Karl Olive , or deputies of the majority.
