For more than two hours, the atmosphere was stretched in the bistro of 17 e arrondissement of Paris where Stanislas Guerini had given his support for Sunday, June 19. Or even outright irrespirable for his relatives, when the first polling stations of the 3rd district of Paris gave him loser. The delegate of La République en Marche (LRM) was ultimately re -elected, totaling 51 % of the votes, faced with its competitor of the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (NUPPES), Léa Balage El Mariky.
If he managed to catch up with the six points behind the evening of the first round, his re -election is much less flamboyant than in 2017 when he had totaled 65.5 % of the votes against Valérie Nahmias, UDI candidate. This time, only 769 votes allow the candidate of the presidential coalition together! to remain Minister of Public Transformation and Function. Because the relative of Emmanuel Macron played big: his post in government in the event of a defeat, under the rule set by the Head of State since 2017. After spending part of the evening at the Elysée, the chief of the presidential party went to his headquarters to claim victory, around 10:20 p.m.
“Humility and lucidity”
largely embraced and congratulated by his supporters, Mr. Guerini took the microphone to celebrate the fact that his deputy, lawyer Caroline Yadan, will sit in the National Assembly. He had a word for “all the candidates of the majority, including for [the] beaten”. He who was betting on an absolute majority for LRM has been forced to note that the presidential coalition will only have a “majority relating to the National Assembly”, calling for macronist elected officials to “humility and lucidity”. p>
“We will act in conscience, knowing that the extremes are very high in our country. I have seen doubt, we will go stronger on the ecological transition”, still promised Mr. Guerini. He finally entrusted his “emotion and [his] sadness for the great figures of the majority who did not win”, Sunday, like Richard Ferrand, the president of the National Assembly, beaten in his constituency of Finistère.
Ex-Strauss-Kahnien, Stanislas Guerini only fully engaged in politics in the fall of 2015, when walking! is still an emerging project. General delegate of LRM since 2018, the elected official had already been weakened after the electoral setbacks of the presidential party in the municipal elections of 2020, then to the regional of June 2021. His defense deemed clumsy by Jérôme Peyrat, ex-Candidat of the majority in Dordogne And convicted of domestic violence, has in any case did not jeopardize his appointment to the government. In this position, several thorny files await it: the continuation of the reforms of the public service and the great bodies of the State. And above all, as of this summer, the salary negotiations around the thaw of the public service index.
