The bitterness of the head of the LR list in Ariège relates more to the state of his own troops than to the victory of Kamel Chibli in the regional elections. Paul-Louis Maurat recalls that LR had 500 activists in Ariège 15 years ago, and that they are only 80 today, many of whom are elderly.
Paul-Louis Maurat casts a fatalistic look at the result of LR in Ariège, concerning the regional elections. But the most astonishing thing is that he is initially flattering towards the big winners who are the candidates who supported the program of Carole Delga.
“In Ariège, the PS has always scored higher than the average for Socialists in France. I must also admit that Kamel Chibli’s work paid off. He has done good things for the region. He is very present in the field on a daily basis. I congratulate him all the more since, at the CCI that I chair, we work very well with him in the interest of Ariège companies. My commitment is not against him. ”
So no grudge against the winners. No comment either against the RN who came second and which he totally ignores. What bothers him much more, however, is the situation of the Republican right in Ariège. “15 years ago, we were 500 LR activists. When I came back to get involved in these elections, there were only 80 of us, many of them elderly. How do you want to run a campaign when, in concrete terms, there are only 3 or 4 of you going into the field? It’s impossible!” A message that he sends to all supporters of the right. He gave him. Now, he intends to devote himself to the Ceser, of which he is still a member for two and a half years, and to the CGPME of which he will remain president, with always the same concern, defending the interests of companies and employment in Ariège. “
