Antoine Boudinet, number 3 on the list of Philippe Poutou, was elected councilor of Bordeaux Sunday evening at the end of the second round of the municipal elections, thanks to the 9.39% obtained by the Bordeaux list in Struggles (New Anticapitalist Party) , which allow him to qualify three advisers to the new Bordeaux council.

"The" yellow vests "enter the town hall with me through the front door"
"On December 8, 2018, I lost my hand while the" yellow vests "were trying to enter the town hall, and today they enter it with me, through the front door," the young man told us on Monday . If he still has trouble realizing what is happening to him - "if I had been told that two years ago" - he does not hide his joy either. "I am very happy, even if these are heavy responsibilities to carry, but I will not be alone, there is a whole team behind me. Bordeaux en Luttes is a collective. "

Among the subjects on which he wants to be particularly present over the next six years, is that of security. “The management of the municipal police is going to matter a lot to me, knowing in addition that and Pierre Hurmic, and Nicolas Florian, are in a security logic. I want the disarmament of this police force, and a return to a social police force. Then, as a social and cultural animator, I would like to create really decisive neighborhood councils, so that the opinions of the inhabitants of Bordeaux are really taken into account, not facade councils. "
"What happened to me made me a symbol"
Since 2018, Antoine Boudinet has become a figure of "yellow vests" and an active member of the collective "mutilated for example. "Last March, he explained to us that he had met Philippe Poutou" because we are neighbors, and he told me about his list with the NPA and the rapprochement he wanted to make with La France Insoumise, and therefore the desire to create a list of activists. I jumped at the opportunity. "
"I am still a" yellow vest ", he continued, I claim it, but I am not their representative. I realize that what has happened to me makes me a symbol, but the movement of "yellow vests" is very eclectic. For me, the Bordeaux en Luttes list embodies this fed up. "
Sunday evening, the ecologist won the municipal elections in Bordeaux with 46.48%, ahead of the outgoing mayor Nicolas Florian (44.12%), and Philippe Poutou (9.39%).
