Legislative 2022: the majority ousts a relative of Barbara Pompili


Jacques Maire, outgoing LREM deputy for the 8th district of Hauts-de-Seine, was not invested by the macronist confederation “Together”.

The ax fell on Sunday evening via a press release. Jacques Maire, LREM deputy outgoing from the 8th district of Hauts-de-Seine, will not be able to stand for re-election in the legislative elections next June by claiming the nomination of the Macronist confederation “Together”. “I was more than surprised by this decision”he comments to Le Figaro.

It is Prisca Thévenot, spokesperson for La République en Marche, who has been appointed. She was previously based in Seine-Saint-Denis, where she was elected regional councilor for Île-de-France last year.

Vice-president of the “In common” party

His parachuting is already disputed in this constituency which covers the municipalities of Chaville, Meudon and Sèvres. A letter, co-signed by around thirty local elected officials, consulted by Le Figaro, was sent to the authorities responsible for investing the candidates with the “Together” banner, which brings together the support of the President of the Republic. The work of Jacques Maire, “is recognized locally, nationally and internationally”, they write in support of the parliamentarian, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly. The signatories denounce a “incomprehensible and unjust decision”. For the time being, Jacques Maire has not indicated whether he intends to maintain his candidacy despite everything, as a dissenter.

President of the Liberals and Democrats group in the European Parliamentary Assembly, Jacques Maire is close to the Minister for Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili. He is one of the vice-presidents of his political movement, “In common”.

A party which places itself within the left wing of the majority but which maintains complicated relations with La République en Marche. Also vice-president of In common, the deputy of Paris Hugues Renson announced last February that he will not be a candidate for the June legislative elections. It was David Amiel, a very close adviser to Emmanuel Macron, who was invested by the “Together” confederation in the 13th district of the capital. The president of En Commun, Philippe Hardouin, was invested in the 10th constituency of Val-de-Marne today held by Mathilde Panot, the boss of the LFI group in the National Assembly.

As for Minister Barbara Pompili, she indicated last week that she did not yet know if she was going to defend her mandate as deputy, in the 2nd constituency of the Somme. At this stage, no candidate has been invested by the Macronists in this constituency. Asked by Le Figaro on Monday about the ousting of Jacques Maire, Barbara Pompili did not wish to react.
