From January 23 to 26, the 2,000 amateur clubs are called upon to vote electronically whether or not Patrick Buisson should become the deputy president of the French Rugby Federation during the withdrawal of its president, Bernard Laporte.
A vote that the Minister of Sports wants "
irreproachable
".
Visiting Toulouse this Friday to sign a charter with the Stade Toulousain around the ecological transition, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra announced to our colleagues from France Bleu that she will be present at the headquarters of the FFR on January 27 "
to analyze the referendum of the FFR
”.
“
The withdrawal of Bernard Laporte was necessary for French rugby.
But we said to ourselves that we needed precise instructions to guarantee the effectiveness of this withdrawal.
I called for a democratic time so that the deputy president could benefit from a form of democratic dubbing by the clubs
, ”recalled the minister.
“This consultation must be surrounded by the greatest of fair play.
It's not an administrative formality, it's a real democratic time that is engaging"
To make sure, she will go to the headquarters of the FFR, in Marcoussis (Essonne), “
on January 27 in the morning to analyze this consultation with the steering committee.
This consultation is a fundamental moment for the values of rugby.
I want her to be surrounded by the greatest of fair play.
It's not an administrative formality, it's a real democratic time that is engaging.

“
I have no doubt that the steering committee will draw conclusions responsibly on January 27 when it comes to analyzing this consultation, both the rate of participation, the response given and the way in which it took place.

She also expressed her "
confidence
" and her "
serenity
" for the Rugby World Cup (September 8-October 28), the day after the revelation by the newspaper L'Equipe of suspicions of financial irregularities and the opening of an investigation for "
moral harassment
" against the former boss of the organizing committee, Claude Atcher.
"
The social climate has calmed down
" within the organizing team since the dismissal of Claude Atcher, she said.
"
I am delighted that today we have a united team at the helm, with renewed serenity and a very strong commitment to make this World Cup a great sporting success and also a great success for the image of our country
