FREE MIDI INFO. The presidential majority candidate Yvan Lachaud has chosen Françoise Cuillé as her substitute. The farmer from Générac is running for the first time in politics.
To accompany him in this candidacy for the legislative elections in the second district of Gard, the former president of the Agglo and elected representative of Nîmes Yvan Lachaud chose a woman established in Petite Camargue. Françoise Cuillé, 68, is a farmer between Saint-Gilles and Générac. She is the wife of the notary of Milhaud Bertrand Cuillé, himself brother of Jean-Pierre (the manade of the Pavillons in Générac, where several gold bios grew), of the late Philippe, and of the Nîmes auctioneer Françoise .
“Be listening”
“I had never entered politics, I had never even thought of it, but when Yvan, whom I have known for a long time, asked me, and after consulting my family, I accepted. I know his background , his organizational skills, his entrepreneurial qualities… And of course, having already been a deputy and group president, he knows the workings.”
The duo say they want to break up with “divisive remarks, polemics” says Françoise Cuillé, when Yvan Lachaud adds “we want to listen. We meet the municipal councils of the 35 municipalities, the economic players, the people who live in this territory. We argue that having a deputy sitting in the majority is more effective in advancing the files than someone who stays on the opposition benches.”
Bring training closer
employment needs
Among the priorities of the candidate and his replacement, agriculture. “We are of course suffering the consequences of global warming, drought, soil salinity, which endanger farmers, but we must also work on administrative simplification. Rural leases must be simplified, why not by associating them with crops, with a short term, this would facilitate access to land”, suggests the farmer.
Yvan Lachaud evokes the fishing sector, the 18 trawlers of Grau du Roi, subject to strong constraints. “I will make proposals”. Security issues (Françoise Cuillé herself suffered thefts on her farm) and employment are at the heart of the campaign. “Bringing apprenticeship training closer to recruiting professionals is a necessity. The tourism sector is suffering from these recruitment problems.“Yvan Lachaud, galoubet and tambourine player, also wants to defend Provencal traditions. He will meet the herdsmen, in difficulty with their insurance.
The duo will not have a campaign office but intend to survey the 35 municipalities every day by June 12.
