It all starts with a press article relating a provision made by the rectorate. To allow Valérie Beausert-Leick to exercise her mandate at the head of the Department in the best conditions while remaining principal of the Lycée de Mirecourt, a deputy principal has just been appointed in the establishment to assist her. A decision on which Luc Binsinger, openly declared candidate for the presidency in the event of alternation in March 2021, points an annoyed eye. This prompted him to post a message on Facebook in which he protested against this initiative.
The problem with controversy is that you have to give the best of yourself with scathing and withdrawn words that ring true. There, we can discuss the style as chiseled as that used on social networks, that is to say that it does not manifest any convincing enrichment of the French language, but given the support it is normal. The bottom remains. Why such a position and such comments? Does the policy justify all angles of attack? Luc Binsinger explains. ” I have seen the attention paid by the Rectorate to the accompaniment of Mrs Beausert-Leick. I didn’t want to create a controversy. I know from experience the difficulty an elected official has in maintaining a professional activity. I’m just finding that it’s easier in the public service. The addition of a second principal in the high school headed by the president of the departmental council of Meurthe-et-Moselle is an illustration of this. For me it is shocking. I think we have to show the stupidity of the system. »
By displaying his exasperation on Facebook, Luc Binsinger puts forward a reversible argument. You have to know if you want elected officials in contact with the realities on the ground or who think 100% political?
Generous National Education !!
Grant a second deputy principal so that Madame can continue to exercise her…

“It’s almost provocative”
So why the mayor of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port thinks it is difficult to juggle the two functions? “ The publicity that has been made around this professional arrangement is almost provocative. Teachers from the Vosges have told me: you are right to hit the anthill, while we are short of teaching posts. There a solution was immediately found. »
Luc Binsinger distributes the good and the bad points. But are the arguments he makes the right ones? ” The goal is not to drag out the controversy, however I note that there is a benevolence with a capital B so that it can combine the two functions. However, the presidency of the departmental council is a full-time activity, the proof that one can no longer sit in another executive. For me it is a small political mistake. »
On analysis, some will say that politics has decidedly become the domain of mediocre rivalries, others that nothing should be hidden from the twists and turns which sometimes characterize public life. The moral of this disproportionately resonant story? We can add professional life and public responsibilities, as long as we do not move forward on the wrong foot.
The list of candidates
Six months from the deadline, each camp reviews the numbers. There are the “old” troops who plan to retire, others who reflect, and everywhere ideas of renewal. If the opposition has taken the bit to the teeth, it is because it believes that its time has come. She believes that the withdrawal of Mathieu Klein, who ends the mandate as a simple advisor having already announced that he will not be running for his canton of Trois-Maisons, offers an opportunity to be seized.
In this invigorating perspective after 22 years of opposition, Luc Binsinger identifies the forces. Retail review. Sophie Mayeux’s absence from the Velaine-en-Haye back-to-school seminar was very intrigued. Did the outgoing Nancy Ouest counselor want to move on? Was it subject to the wear and tear of cantonal time? Some already mentioned the Region. Information taken from the person concerned, let’s say it is not. ” I was not in Nancy on that date, so my absence has no political significance. I am well anchored in the department. » « Sophie has the legitimacy to leave », Confirms Luc Binsinger.
Still, it is necessary to detect new talents and prepare future pairs. “ I free up one day per week to travel around the cantons and form quality pairs. Obviously the outgoing ones have their say but let me specify that we are not yet at the stage of the nominations. Premature indeed, which does not prevent the calculations from galloping in all directions. The candidatures of Matthieu Dap, now deputy of Patrick Blanchot, who has not yet been determined, are considered possible. Possible but far from being one hundred percent concrete. According to relatives, Matthieu Dap would like to refocus on his medical activities.
Another eventuality begins to be drummed. It was enough for Hélène Rossinot to participate as a major witness in the UDC’s re-entry seminar for the hypothesis of her new plunge into politics to be raised. ” He’s a talented person. During our seminar she captured the attention by denouncing the lack of interest given to caregivers. It is one of the riches that our camp could benefit from. Politics attracts her but she does not lack activities or energy elsewhere. So we’ll see », Says Luc Binsinger who ensures that it is the UDC and the prospective pairs who will be around the table at the time of choice. ” No way the political parties will decide for us in January 2021. “Team spirit, there is no better way to overcome obstacles.
And to the left ? For Bertrand Masson, first secretary of the PS 54, “the departmental elections are a major issue. We want to keep the department. I believe that Valérie Beausert-Leick is able to embody a strong presidency and take the leadership for this election for which there will be renewal in our ranks.».
The town hall of Nancy and the Metropolis barely won, the left embarks on a new challenge. Will the ark of covenants allow him to achieve the goal? This is the whole issue of the campaign which begins today.
