His decision has a priori no link with the withdrawal of the candidate LREM Benjamin Griveaux. MoDem vice-president Marielle de Sarnez, elected from Paris since 2001, told AFP this Saturday that she was not standing for a new term in municipal elections next March.
If the Modem had announced at the end of January that it was joining LREM in the Parisian municipal elections, Marielle de Sarnez had chosen to support the list of LR Jean-Pierre Lecoq in the 6th. "I cannot do well the two missions which are mine", specified the councilor of Paris who is also deputy and president of the commission of Foreign affairs to the National assembly. " This is not reasonnable. I turn this page of a local mandate in Paris ”. "I wanted to take the time to ensure my succession," she added. Séverine de Compreignac, secretary general of the parliamentary group of the MoDem in the Assembly, should succeed him on the list of Jean-Pierre Lecoq.
No connection with the withdrawal of Benjamin Griveaux
Confirming information from the newspaper Le Monde, the leader of the MoDem in Paris and elected from the 6th arrondissement said that her decision had been "carefully considered for weeks and months" and that it was "in no case" linked to the explosion that affects the municipal campaign of The Republic on the move, whose candidate Benjamin Griveaux had to abandon Friday after the broadcast on social networks of sexual videos.
Marielle de Sarnez was indicted in December 2019 as an MEP for "embezzlement of public funds", for having used her former assistant Karine Aouadj for personal tasks although she was paid on European funds.
