Laurent Pérez, who will only have remained for one year as Security Assistant, responds to the very close ex-employee of Gérard Larrat and now departmental advisor, François Mourad.
In our edition of October 16, 2021, the departmental councilor François Mourad in response to a question on the candidacy of Laurent Pérez (LR) in the legislative elections, on the 1re constituency of the Aude, had assailed: “I am quite surprised by this candidacy. During the departmental campaign, he came to me to tell me that he would give me a hand for the Legislations on the first constituency and asked me to help him on the third … Now, he is positioned on the first. Laurent Pérez, I don’t know him well you know … He carried out the shortest mandate in the history of Carcassonne as an ephemeral Assistant to Security (a year)….”
Asked to respond to this assertion, Laurent Pérez, former boss of Medef in Aude and current president of the Audoise federation of LR, does not take side roads: “This only commits him. He discovers that we can discuss during a political campaign. Me, I know him very well François Mourad. He was an advisor to the mayor, so we maintained relations, say professional. We worked together. For many months.” Were these relationships harmonious? “It was about working relations within the municipality.” In hollow, François Mourad criticizes the Audoise federation of Republicans for not having supported him in the departmental … “He is not a member, he is not part of the family of the right and the center. His commitment to Edouard Philippe proves me right elsewhere.”
I realized in a year what some could not even imagine in six years
As for the ephemeral side of his action at the town hall, Laurent Pérez does not elude either: “I realized in a year what some could not even imagine in six years. The municipal police seven days a week, 24 hours, that’s me, union negotiations at the PM, too. Before, the social climate was noxious. Today, the police can turn by bike, motorbike … Not to mention the dog squad being created. “
About Placide Arias who accompanied him for a year and who succeeded him: “Placide accompanied me perfectly, I did not do everything alone, now he will continue.” Why did you leave after a year? “I’ve already explained it. I became president of LR, I am launching a campaign, and I say that you cannot do two things at the same time. In any case, not well. I had not need a maintenance mandate … I acted in full transparency with Gérard Larrat. He agreed with me. He thanked me for the work accomplished orally and in writing. ”
Danièle Hérin: “Above all, the presidential elections”
Alongside LREM spokesperson Maud Bregeon on Saturday in Carcassonne, Danièle Hérin, the deputy elected on the 1re circo audoise in 2017 under the label of the presidential party did not want to expand on the legislative meeting: “Today, it is above all the presidential elections. I am taking stock of my mandate, but I will work to the end, there is no question of putting France in slow motion for six months, by only selling what we have been doing since 2017. What is certain for me is that we must keep the fundamental approach which is to mix liberation and protection, by taking the good sides of the right, and the left. And if the results are pleasing … ” A door wisely open to a candidacy for re-election, while the question of nominations will quickly arise, a subject all the more burning in this constituency as François Mourad, the departmental councilor of Carcassonne 1, has shown his desire to bring the colors of Horizons, the movement launched by former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.
