by
Olivier Dussopt, Minister of Labor, full employment and insertion of the government of Elisabeth Borne, brought together 29.97 % of the votes in the first round of the legislative elections. Candidate in the 2 e district of the Ardèche under the colors of the presidential majority, he will face Christophe Goulouzelle (23.57 %), candidate of the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (NUPPES) , during the second round, which will be held on Sunday June 19.
The Minister of Labor is well established in this territory, where he was elected deputy in 2007, in 2012 and 2017 under the colors of the Socialist Party, and mayor of Annonay for nine years (2008-2017). However, he changed his political affiliation by joining the government of Edouard Philippe, at the end of 2017, and now chairs territories of progress, who left the left wing of the majority. H2>
From a modest family, a graduate of Sciences Po Grenoble, Mr. Dussopt had Benoît Hamon and Martine Aubry as mentors. In 2016, he took a step on the right by supporting Manuel Valls in the primary on the left. Fine connoisseur of local authorities, he will be the rapporteur of two important texts of the mandate of François Hollande: the law of 2014 on metropolitan and 2015 reducing the regions.
In Macronie, Olivier Dussopt wins his stripes by leading the delicate reform of the public service with the unions. The text, which provides in particular the increased use of contract workers, is voted in the summer of 2019, without major social eruption.
describes as a fierce worker, this austere minister, with a tenderloin of voice and the jerky flow, will ultimately not implement the abolition of 120,000 officials of civil servants promised in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron and abandoned After the crisis of “yellow vests”. But it was natural that he succeeds Mr. Darmanin, during the reorganization of July 2020, as Minister Delegate in charge of public accounts. The policy of “whatever it costs” put in place to protect the economy during the COVVI-19 pandemic has just started.
President of the Microparti Territoire de Progrès, satellite of the presidential party, Olivier Dussopt was regularly cited as one of the members of the government appreciated by the Head of State. The latter had even cited him by name at the press conference detailing his presidential program on March 17. If he wants to remain Minister of Labor within the Borne Government, Mr. Dussopt will have to win, Sunday, June 19, because, as in 2017, members of the government candidates for deputation will have to resign in the event of failure.
