The deputy for the second constituency, Laurence Vanceunebrock (Renaissance), held her first public meeting on Friday, May 13, in front of around thirty people, at the town hall of Cérilly.
A branch of the medical school in Montluçon
The 52-year-old former peacekeeper, candidate for a second and “last term”, has made health the first of her priority subjects. “We have released the numerus clausus but the faculties of medicine have difficulty in accommodating more students and cannot push the walls. Why not create a branch of the Clermont-Ferrand faculty in Montluçon? This could make students want to stay, ”she submits.
The MEP is also in favor of the obligation for future students to settle in under-resourced territories “for three to five years” at the end of their studies or the employment of doctors in health centers, taking the example of the departmental council of Saône-et-Loire.
The Railcoop file
Laurence Vanceunebrock also considers security, agriculture, energy transition and the train as themes that matter more than others. She wants to continue to “put pressure on the government” for the maintenance of the railway lines, recalling that money has been put on the table for maintenance work on the Bourges-Montluçon portion.
His “great regret” is for Bordeaux-Lyon, whose project carried by the Railcoop association has been postponed for the moment. “According to Bercy, there is a status problem. It’s a shame to open up competition and allow an Italian company to run trains in the South and we can’t help Railcoop,” she says.
She has chosen Thierry Paulhac as her substitute, absent yesterday, who has the particularity of having the profile of a financier, hunter and farmer all at the same time.
A ghost MP? “It’s totally false”
Very early in the mandate, Laurence Vanceunebrock was criticized for being too little visible on the territory. An attack which resurfaced at the start of the campaign, several opponents accusing her of being a “ghost” MP and of having “shined by her absence”.
“It’s totally false”, retorts the candidate who sees “a big trickery, but it’s the game of the opposition”.
A “double trick”
“Since the beginning of the mandate, I have spent every Monday, Friday, weekend and sometimes Thursday afternoon in the constituency with mayors and citizens, even if the Covid has complicated things for the last two years” , she justifies herself.

According to her, there is even “double trickery” to make “believe that we can settle everything by staying on the constituency. If one is not present in the Assembly, one becomes an out-of-office deputy”.

My fault is communication
She also brushes aside criticism of her investment in societal laws rather than directly related to constituency issues. “It was even said that I was doing it for me, but the PMA, I no longer need it and I have never had to undergo conversion therapy. »

“As these subjects had a significant media impact at the national level, she continues, the population had the impression that I was only doing that. »
A simple distorting mirror? “I want to make my mea culpa on my communication, she slips, but I am also proud to have unanimously voted the law against conversion therapies, as to have worked to prevent the closure of a class in Ainay-le-Château or for having contributed my stone to the building for the Tep-scan in Montluçon. »
