Eleven candidates vying for the 1st round on Sunday

After having tried his luck at the town hall of Verlhac-Tescou and in the last senatorial elections of Tarn-et-Garonne, this telecoms engineer is now seeking a seat as a deputy. His mentor, Jacques Cheminade came to support him at the beginning of the week on the markets of Caussade and Caylus. His credo: a sovereign Republic.

Laurence Lafond completes the casting of the eleven candidates for the first constituency. Despite all our attempts, we did not manage to reach this candidate who will defend the colors of the Independent Workers’ Party (POI), classified on the far left. Main battle horse of this party: take France out of the European Union.

Departmental Councillor, Ghislain Descazeaux surfs on ambiguity. A former socialist, he was, from 2015 to 2021, in the department, closer to the Macronist and right-wing majority of the time than to the left which fought in the opposition. Today, he is back as a candidate against the outgoing Socialist deputy, claiming to be leftist… Difficult to follow.

Law student and employee in a McDonald’s, Dylan Perrinaud presents himself under the label of the movement of Jean Lassalle. “I want politics to adapt to the people and not the other way around. Seeing no real candidate for change in the running in my constituency, I agreed to leave my quiet life to embark on this adventure.”

Of all the struggles and all the elections, Richard Blanco does it again. His message: “The Macronist candidates, from the far right, from the right or from the left, claim that their election will depend on the future of the workers and the popular classes. This is a lie, because whatever the color of the Assembly , it is the capitalists who will make the law.”

Luc Francez-Charlot, career soldier, domiciled in Valence d’Agen will campaign on “insecurity, poverty, the precariousness of pensioners and the defense of France”. His party claims 130,000 members in France, including 450 in our department “while the RN has only 120 members”, explains the candidate.

Associate professor in history, Chafik Benchekroun, domiciled in Montauban is a candidate under the banner of Florian Philippot’s party “to fight the countless state scandals and corruption cases (McKinsey, Rothschild, Alstom, etc.), the disproportionate draconian measures linked to the Covid , and promote a new democratic model.”

Valérie Rabault is a candidate for her own succession in the first constituency. President of the Socialist Group in the National Assembly for five years, she has shown tenacity and loyalty to the left. His skill is praised by all. For these legislative elections, she is teaming up with Morgan Tellier, the mayor of Nègrepelisse.

The mayor of Reyniès proudly wears the LR colors. “I belong, he said, to the same political family since General de Gaulle. I am an elected official anchored in the territory. I am the only mayor of a small town who is a candidate.” Claude Vigouroux highlights in his program the issues of health, authority, agriculture, purchasing power…

While it was her first real big campaign, Catherine Simonin declared herself “rather serene” two days before the first round. “I made some great encounters in the field”, underlines the retired dental surgeon who has placed the theme of health in the priorities of her campaign.

After the cantonal and municipal elections, the retired Montalban arborist is trying his luck in the legislative elections. He is a candidate “not to give full powers to E. Macron, not to impose retirement at 65, social devastation, fiscal hype and massive immigration as well as deprivation of freedoms and not to compromise the future of our children.”
