Clémentine Autain, head of the list of La France insoumise and the Communist Party for the regional in Île-de-France, rose Thursday against a "territorial separatism" favored according to her by the policy of the outgoing right-wing Valérie Pécresse.
The deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis launched her campaign on Thursday evening from the Theater-Studio in Alfortville (Val-de-Marne), with the slogan "To be able to live".
"Live, not survive," she explained on stage in this show broadcast on social networks.
In this "rich" region, "what strikes you since the beginning of the 2000s is the growing divide, the territorial separatism between gentrification on one side and precariousness on the other".
She confided her concern about the "dormitory towns lacking public services and shops", and promised: "The popular districts, you will hear about it. They are the beginning of the solution".
The candidate proposes a "solidarity shock": food aid increased to 50 million euros against 10 times less currently, free canteen for the first portions of the family quotient, solidarity and environmental vouchers, elimination of aid to companies that make redundancies and cities lacking in social housing ...
So that this "hope" is embodied "in a real change", Clémentine Autain claims "for method the gathering", despite the competition in the first round of the environmental pole behind Julien Bayou and the socialists behind Audrey Pulvar: "I am the only one to have made a clear commitment to say that in the second round it will be necessary to bring together the left-wing and environmentalist lists to beat Valérie Pécresse ".
Valérie Pécresse who, according to the leader of the Communists Céline Malaisé, carried out a "policy in the exclusive service of her friends".
"Communication and let it be liberal by way of regional planning must stop," thundered the regional elected.
Aware of the abstention which threatens in particular her political family, the Communist considered it essential to "convince of the importance of this election" because "the region can be a shield".
The actors Ariane Ascaride and Christian Benedetti, director of the Théâtre-Studio, were also among the speakers.
"The policies have let us down, the agents of culture", denounced the first.
