It is to decide on this choice that the inhabitants of Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse are called to go to the polls this Sunday on the occasion of the municipal by-election caused by the resignation of a large part of the council last July. Four lists are on the starting line, one more than in the 2014 ballot, the Republic in March having slipped into the competition, which is a first for Emmanuel Macron’s party at the municipal level.

“We are a bit of the disturbing list, smiles the one who is at the head of Saint-Rémy en Marche, Dominique Dufrasnes.

The latter believes that the city has been “at a standstill” for several months and hopes that voters will vote for “people who had the files in hand. “We can no longer afford to start again from zero,” he said. An experience on which the opposition councilor Dominique Bavoil (SE, List of local interest to advance), second in 2014, who with eight former minority elected officials highlights his “great knowledge of the city, of the territorial environment and a perfect mastery of files “and ensures that its list will be” operational the day after the election. “
