As she had said a few weeks ago, the President of the Region wants to put 80% of her program on track by the end of the summer.
A little over three weeks after her victory in Île-de-France, Valérie Pécresse (Libres!) Chaired her first plenary meeting of the Regional Council for the 2021-2028 term on Wednesday. In Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis) – where the headquarters of the Region is located – the president of the region wants to strike hard by having 80% of her program approved by “the end of the summer”, in accordance with to what she said a few weeks ago. The Regional Council will also meet tomorrow, Thursday.
Majority of 125 elected out of 209
Among the flagship measures: the cancellation of the “Covid debt” for 7000 companies in the region, aid of 6000 euros for the purchase of a clean vehicle, doubling of the “regional security brigades” in high schools or even the creation of a regional health mutual. This is for those “who cannot negotiate the prices of their mutual health insurance: students, retirees, job seekers or self-employed workers“, as Valérie Pécresse explained on April 29, in the 19/20 of France 3 Paris Île-de-France.
Measures that she shouldn’t have any difficulty in passing. Valérie Pécresse has a majority in the Regional Council – 125 elected out of 209, or 59.8% of the seats. Opposite, the Union of the Left and the Ecologists (UGE) gathered behind Julien Bayou has 53 advisers, 16 for the National Rally (RN), and 15 for the Republic in March (LREM).
