He left politics.
Jean Rottner, LR president of the Grand Est region since 2017, announced during a videoconference with regional elected officials that he was going to resign from any elective office.
A press release was published at the same time on the site of the regional authority, citing personal and family reasons.
“
I have decided to leave public life.
I will withdraw from all my mandates by the end of the year... Family imperatives drive this heavy decision.
This choice is to be respected
”, writes the elected official, acknowledging a decision “
not easy to make
”.
Jean Rottner indicated that his first vice-president for the region, Franck Leroy, would take over as interim.
