Here we go again ! This Saturday, Emmanuel Macron has just been invested President of the Republic for a second term that the legislative battle is launched in the Yvelines. One month before the election, we now know the candidates invested by Ensemble, the new confederation resulting from three political parties: Renaissance (ex-LREM), MoDem and Horizons. If seven outgoing deputies hope to come out on top again on June 12 and 19, new faces are appearing as this new election approaches.
Unsurprisingly, we find among the outgoing Jean-Noël Barrot (2nd district), Béatrice Piron (3rd), Marie Lebec (4th), Yaël Braun-Pivet (5th), Natalia Pouzyreff (6th), Bruno Millienne (9th) and Aurore Bergé (10th). A local elected official already well known to the Yvelinois has decided to join them: Karl Olive, mayor (DVD) of Poissy.
The inhabitants of the department have been able to see on many occasions his closeness to the President of the Republic. It is therefore quite natural that the elected candidate present his candidacy on behalf of the presidential majority on his territory (12th), where the former deputy Florence Granjus had announced that she did not want to stand for a second term.
Michèle de Vaucouleurs is not going back to the 7th district either, leaving room for the Minister Delegate for the City Nadia Hai. Elected in 2017 in the 11th district (Trappes), she then joined the government in 2020, thus generating new partial elections after which Philippe Benassaya (LR) was elected. The presidential party hopes to take back this territory by presenting the candidacy of an employee of the movement: Aurélie Piacenza. Aged 42, she works in contact with local elected officials through her position as regional development officer.
The youngest candidate in the first constituency
In Mantes-la-Jolie (8th), voters may recognize a former elected official of the city: Edwige Hervieux. The former deputy was one of the resigned elected officials alongside mayor Raphaël Cognet, last January. In 2017, former mayor Michel Vialay (LR) won this constituency, the only one of the twelve not to have been won by LREM.
Finally, the former deputy Didier Baichère will not be a candidate under the Together banner in the 1st district (Versailles). The profile of Charles Rodwell was preferred to him. At just 25 years old, this deputy mayor of Versailles and former collaborator of the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire is one of the youngest candidates invested by the confederation in Île-de-France.
If the referent of the presidential party in the Yvelines does not “want to mention the term grand slam”, the ambitions are however clearly displayed. “Very concretely, we want to have the largest possible majority in order to be able to apply Emmanuel Macron’s project, confirms Mickaël Littière. We will do everything to make victory possible in the 12 constituencies. Afterwards, of course, there are nuances. »
The elected mayor of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine points in particular to the 8th and 11th constituencies, “held by a deputy Les Républicains, where the outgoing bonus will apply”. The 9th is also the subject of particular attention, “a territory where the National Rally bloc is expressed in many rural communes and at the same time, there is a strong left bloc in Les Mureaux”.
