Romain Baubry made security the main theme of his victorious campaign in the 15e constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône. At 33, this National Rally (RN) municipal councilor from Sénas, a small town in the Bouches-du-Rhône, can, in this area, highlight the legitimacy of an already long professional career. At 18, this native of Normandy, now settled in the South, signed a first contract with the gendarmerie, where he officiated for two years as a voluntary deputy gendarme. “It was under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy. And at the time, there was very little prospect of recruitment,” he remembers.
This father of two children then turns to the prison administration, works at Baumettes, in Marseilles, and at the central house in Arles. Romain Baubry then wants “find the ground” and finds a job as a municipal policeman. At Vitrolles first, from 2014 to 2019, then at the night brigade of Cavaillon (Vaucluse). What make him want to join the national police school in Nîmes (Gard). “A training that I will put on hold for a little while”, predicts the new deputy.
Deportation of foreign offenders
It is Laurent Jacobelli, ephemeral boss of the RN federation of Bouches-du-Rhône, who will propose to this young activist to present himself to the municipal elections in his small town. In 2020, Romain Baubry has been inscribed for almost eight years at the RN. He also lost in the departmental elections of 2021, and launched an assault on a 15e constituency held for three terms by the deputy Les Républicains Bernard Reynès, but where Marine Le Pen comes first in the second round of the presidential election.
At the National Assembly, Romain Baubry intends to carry the voice of his colleagues. “You have to listen to the rank and file cops, those who are on the public highway and experience what the government does not want to watch. They have solutions to offer. he assures. He advocates the expulsion of foreign offenders, the construction of new prisons and the end of automatic sentence reductions. “The main problem of the police is justice. In France, today, we do not incarcerate enough, we do not punish enough”, he assumes.
