They ensure that family lunches go well, even if politics often invites itself to the table.
Philippe Lapeyre, 53, candidate of the National Rally in the departmental elections in a canton of Albi, will have as an opponent in June a candidate of the Socialist Party ... who is none other than his daughter Margot, aged 26.
The father and the daughter, with different political convictions, ensure that they come face to face by chance.
“When I found out that she was a candidate, I asked her: Where are you going?
Then we said to ourselves: Hey, we're going to be adversaries and that made us laugh rather, assures Philippe Lapeyre, trainer by profession.
It was quite by chance because I had not told her about my candidacy and neither did she.
"
"Always interesting to talk about politics"
Margot Lapeyre, currently a student to become a social worker and activist with ten years of experience in politics and associations, refutes any tension during family meals, arguing that “it's always interesting to talk about politics.
And it's good that men think differently than their wives and daughters.
"
For his father, this family duel in the departmental is not a concern, despite the great difference in their political convictions.
“It doesn't surprise me to have a girl who has these ideas,” he says.
I saw her get involved in political life and I found that very good.
I let her take flight and go where she wanted ”.
