Three lists compete for the canton Fleurance Lomagne, the same as in the second round of 2015. Will the vote of the National Gathering have progressed in this left canton?
The unknown of the far-right vote
The challenge for the years to come will be, here again, the fight against medical desertification. The positions of the candidates are radically opposed on the measures to be taken. Bernard Gendre advocates the use of salaried doctors, like what is already done in Saint-Clar. “This will be our main hobbyhorse, insists the elected representative of the departmental majority. Via this operation, we will be able to provide support for the Fleurance nursing home, the Saint-Clar structure, already in place successfully, and provide the doctors needed to provide care in the Lomagne PE, and at the Cantoloup Lavallée center. “
On the right, Grégory Bobbato notes “that we had 20 doctors in the Fleurance basin 15 years ago, we have 6 today for 15,000 inhabitants. We have elected officials who have been telling us for 15 years that this is going to happen. , and nobody does anything. Today the last medical practices will close at the end of the year in Fleurance “. He and Martine Mairal recommend public / private coordination. “Everyone pulls on their own, without collaboration when we are in a situation of shortage. It would already be a good thing for public doctors to be able to rely on those of the private sector, and vice versa, but it is very difficult to make it work together. ” The salaried doctor’s solution is “only partial, not reasoned and not reasonable”. Another point that the running mates of the Gers otherwise want to review, the attractiveness of the Gers for young doctors. “There is surely something to be done about it. But it is an ideological position”, according to Grégory Bobbato.
At the National Assembly too, we are worried about the disappearance of doctors. “How is it that Fleurance has so few doctors? In Lannemezan, a similar town, we have 9 doctors, against 4 here, including one who is going to stop.” David Domingues proposes the creation of a medical center, which would accommodate 8 to 10 professionals, “with liberals and employees, and tax incentives”. It goes further, by bringing homeopaths and energy specialists to these premises. “There are more and more people who are interested in these alternative medicines. It takes a bit of everything.”

In 2015, it took a triangular to separate the left, the right and the extreme right. This year, the candidates of the PCF and the Left Front do not present a list, the equation is further reduced. The forces present in the last round clash this time from the 1st round. Will the National Rally, with its new candidates, win the bet against personalities firmly rooted in their positions? The graduates, Bernard Gendre and Charlette Boué, have long been local elected officials and know the field. And on the right, Grégory Bobbato is far from being an unknown. However, we will remember that in 2015, the FN had achieved a 13.18% in the 1st round, without any public meeting, in a canton stamped “on the left” for ages.
On the left, in fact, Bernard Gendre is lucid. “The evolution of this vote will certainly continue. We must see if the increase in the RN vote at the national level is expressed in the canton of Fleurance Lomagne. This was not so much the case in the last polls. The increase had been slight, after this strong surge in 2015. ” He is counting on the participation, traditionally strong (60%), to avoid seeing the canton pass to the RN. “In the event of a waiver, we will call for a rally around republican values.”
On the right, Grégory Bobbato and Martine Mairal contest the success of the policies of the departmental majority. “The fiber is late, the roads are poorly maintained in the small towns … We do not have the feeling that the department has made a commitment in recent years …”
On the right, the configuration of the election and the memory of 2015, Grégory Bobbato is well aware of it. “Indeed, we had not anticipated the progression of the FN in 2015. Indeed, the anger is mounting. And when we see the tags, the permanent incivility in Fleurance, we can only understand.” However, the candidate of the Gers otherwise wants to reframe this anger. “We can very well offer firmness, listening, action, but without confusing everything. Let go, have a sanction vote, yes, but with candidates who remain in the bosom of the republican right and of the center who will be able to carry their files. ” He denounces the profession of faith of the RN presenting figures of incivility… Bordeaux! “They are aboveground candidates!” For the two candidates, the sanction vote, the useful vote, it is them. They want to be the representatives of the aspirations of the canton and its inhabitants, and not of party apparatuses.
“And no question either of letting oneself be locked in the RN-PS trap. In the event of a waiver, we will not ally with the National Rally, and not with the Socialist Party either, insists Martine Mairal. We are not looking for to do These questions are a thing of the past! “
At the National Rally, David Domingues takes the election as a challenge, aware of his position as a challenger. “I’m leaving to win. We meet people at the markets, while we put up the posters, but with the Covid, we cannot campaign as we would like.” With an unexpected finding on the ground. “There are people who say they are apolitical who come to see us. But when we talk to these people, we tell them that they have not tried the RN, whereas before they were receptive to our ideas, they tell us that we are like the others! “
Will the price of the demonization of the National Rally weigh heavily in the ballot box in Lomagne? Answer on June 20.
