4 candidates for 4 major political trends. George Ziegler, outgoing president of the Departmental Council, will be the candidate of the right, Pierrick Courbon, figurehead of a union list of the left, Michel Lucas, boss of the National Rally, and Julien Borowczyk, for the presidential majority. A debate to sweep away the major powers of the Departmental Council and the proposals of the various lists. The major competence of the department is social support What policy for RSA beneficiaries, for the elderly, for the disabled, for unaccompanied minors? During the previous term of office, the Department Council focused on a symbolic measure, the payment of a premium for home help. The Loire was one of the 2 departments which did not agree to grant it while each hired the employees on the front line during the health crisis … Another major theme that concerns many voters: colleges? Should we build a new one? Should we secure them like what the law offers for high schools? We will also discuss travel: what type of project will the department support in the years to come? A debate that will take place in the light of a sometimes fragile union on the right, as on the left
Double or quits for Pierrick Courbon?
One of the major political stakes will be on the canton of Saint-Étienne 3, on which Pierrick Courbon will play very big. He is the outgoing councilor for this canton, but Sunday’s ballot looks odd. In front of him, no right-wing list, no National Rally but a duel against a pair stamped “Presidential Majority” with two centrists, the mayor of Roche la Molière Eric Berlivet and the deputy mayor of Saint-Etienne Siham The DOE. Faced with them, Pierrick Courbon has no room for error. It is he who should logically represent the left in the legislative elections next year to try to regain the seat of deputy of Régis Juanico, for whom he has long been the parliamentary attaché. But in the event of defeat and absence from the Departmental Council, he would lose political force and his opponents would rush into the breach. Conversely, by winning, in the 1st or even the 2nd round, he will prove his anchoring and his ability to resist a political maneuver which aims to leave him nothing.
