LREM MP Michèle Crouzet has decided to leave her party to stand in the municipal elections in Sens, Yonne, in 2020 against a candidate of the Radical Party supported by the presidential party, she said Saturday.
The candidate supported by LREM "does not fulfill the conditions of probity"
"I can not support" the candidacy of Claude Vivier-Le Got, who received on July 24 the support of the presidential party in this city, because it "does not meet the conditions of probity", denounced Michèle Crouzet to the AFP, confirming information from BFMTV.
The member refers to a one-year conviction for ineligibility of Claude Vivier-Le Got after the previous municipal elections in 2014, due to the rejection of his campaign account. A sentence recognized by the principal concerned but pronounced according to her "for lack of production of administrative documents within the deadlines provided by the law" and which is today "a case classified", according to an interview published at the end of July in the regional newspaper L Yonne republican .
Towards an application without a label
"We have a social crisis" and the citizens "are tired of elected officials who do not conform to the ideals they want to defend," said Michèle Crouzet, who had positioned herself in June as a candidate in the city north of Yonne. The MP, former UDI, now plans to present without a label to try to succeed the current mayor LR Marie-Louise Fort and lead "fight against the National Gathering".
