They had already renamed the ex-housing minister’s campaign “Rendez-vous in unknown land”, named after France 2’s immersive travel program. Right-wing activists in the 8th district (Maisons-Alfort , Charenton, Joinville and Saint-Maurice) have been driving the point home since this weekend by sharing a photomontage on social networks showing that the background used for the campaign poster of Emmanuelle Wargon – legislative candidate in the 8th constituency of Val -de-Marne – is actually a photo taken… in Lyon (Rhône).
Already the target of his opponents who accuse him of being parachuted, the former Minister of Housing is this time reproached for not having used a photo taken in the constituency that she hopes to delight the outgoing deputy, elected in the National Assembly since 1997.
“It illustrates his ignorance of our municipalities”
“It’s hard to believe,” attacks MP Michel Herbillon. Emmanuelle Wargon is so unfamiliar with the constituency where there are so many pleasant places that she uses an image of Lyon for her poster and brochure. This illustrates well his ignorance of our communes and his parachuting. It even gets a bit pathetic…”
The former Minister of Housing, candidate for the first time in the 8th constituency, considers this new controversy as “a non-subject”. “This photo background, which is also blurred, simply goes with a campaign kit offered by LREM, specifies the only Val-de-Marnaise who appeared in the government. We chose this photo with the President to explain that we will work in the presidential majority and define a clear political identity, while Michel Herbillon has removed the LR logo from his. As my adversaries have nothing to say on the substance, they attack me on the substance… of my poster! »
Romain Maria, parliamentary assistant to Michel Herbillon, does not hesitate to make fun on Facebook: “Mrs. Wargon should we understand from your campaign poster that our constituency is not sufficiently attractive for you, to the point of preferring Lyon for your official poster? Unless you are already anticipating your next parachute drop in Lyon? Know that our 4 municipalities are full of magnificent places that are worth a visit. Do not hesitate to discover them! »
The comments are going well on this publication and even the president of Val-de-Marne, Olivier Capitanio (LR) believes that “it’s getting better and better” with a laughing smiley.
A controversy deemed “bottom of the helmet”
An irony that Julien Dutartre, campaign director for Emmanuelle Wargon on the 8th district, is far from tasting, who in response treats the right as “bottom of the helmet! “. And the support of Emmanuelle Wargon to argue: “We are the candidates of the elected president, Emmanuel Macron. We do not deny who we are and what our objective is: to support the president in his project for France. You may have chosen a park in the constituency for your background but you are not announcing your political color or your project for France. »
