In this text entitled "Ladies, become mayors!", The two Macronist leaders regret that only 16% of the city councilors are women: "Too many women give up because they are the target of sexist behavior. are turning away from a world that seems to them little concerned with real efficiency ".

They therefore encourage the fairer sex: "The most difficult woman to elect is one who does not show up. (...) Help us correct this arithmetic and democratic anomaly.

Before extolling the LREM policy to favor the emergence of elected officials: "In 2017, where other parties preferred to pay penalties rather than invest women in the legislative, we made the opposite choice by investing 50% of women in winning constituencies, "write Marlène Schiappa and Stanislas Guerini.

They announce launching a program of accompaniment, "All policies": "To campaign, to build a program, to mobilize, to manage its media exposure, it is learned.We propose to our feminine talents coaching sessions and will put in place, from back to school, a mentoring device ".
