Jean-Louis Debre is a discreet man. But who willingly continues to respond to invitations from Drouaises. The former president of the National Assembly and the Constitutional Council never scorned coming to Dreux in schools to talk about the Republic and democracy, in the bookstore or in cafes, especially at the Rothen, when he was held by Francis Maini, to dedicate his books. Recently, it was at the invitation of the Lions club Dreux-Doyen that the neighbor of Eure came to give a conference in front of a passionate audience. But, in all discretion.
“More of an LREM fair than anything else”
The Festival des mots Les feuilles d’automne, organized by the brand new association led by the deputy Aurore Bergé (LREM), Les Amis du sud-Yvelines, took place, in the presence of authors and artists, on 16 and October 17, in Rambouillet. While many authors responded to the invitation, an emblematic publisher from the south of Yvelines, Georges Grard, was not invited: “I nevertheless participated in the development of this project by giving my address book to the deputy but, in the end, I was told that I was not welcome” , assures the founder of the publishing house Grrr… art. “It was more of a La République en Marche show than anything else,” he adds. “It was a conflict between him and the Labyrinthe bookstore, which did not want Mr. Grard to be present,” says one on the side of Aurore Bergé. In the meantime, the Labyrinthe bookstore did indeed have a stand during the festival. Georges Grard, he stayed at home.
Attack…
According to Karine Dorange (LR), deputy mayor of Chartres, LREM deputy for Chartres, Guillaume Kasbarian, “is gradually changing into a Zadist”, she wrote in a long message with the scent of a political platform, published Tuesday on Facebook, in reaction, specifies the elected, to an article in L’Écho Républicain (our Monday edition), devoted to the meeting of an anti-A154 collective, where the parliamentarian, opposed to the motorway project, was represented. “When a project of general interest arouses unanimity, the last ideologues who are bitter against always stand out,” writes Karine Dorange. “All the parliamentarians of Eure-et-Loir, except him, supported this project. Here is an isolated deputy, therefore, in defiance of the consensus that reigns […] In the name of an ideology which is shared only by ecologists in lack of ideas, but never in lack of sterile opposition. And paf! Six months before the presidential election, the A154 file resurfaced, raised by a credible elected to bring the hopes of the right in a constituency of Chartres annexed by LREM in 2017. Kasbarian-Dorange? Future legislative duel in Chartres, in June 2022? We can’t write it yet, but since the publication of this message with the accents of the founding act, it still looks a bit like it.

… and retaliate
24 hours after the publication, on Facebook, of Karine Dorange’s message, Guillaume Kasbarian counter-attacked on his own Facebook page, denouncing “a tribune to charge” and “personal attacks of bad taste”, published by an elected official who “made the choice to blindly relay the worst language elements of highway lobbyists”. On the merits, the LREM deputy for Chartres specifies that his position on the file is “constant since 2017 […] I have always been critical of this thirty-year-old project. I never hid it. Critical because of its environmental, economic and social impact […] It is the right of deputies, including those of the majority, to be free of their expression. “Attacked on a position which would go against the general interest, the deputy specifies that if the State decides” to move forward on this project, it is our duty to influence future negotiations […] demand significant compensation to deal with environmental impacts, demand the lowest possible tariff for Eurelian users […] This is all the work that I will do […] It is precisely in the general interest ”.
