"People call 15"

In Conchy-les-Pots, a town of 740 inhabitants, Yannick Jadot visited a brand new health center, financed by the town, the department and the region, but empty, for lack of doctors wishing to settle there.

This center managed by the ADMR association could make it possible to pay three doctors, explained the mayor, Marie-Christine Pinsson.

"But there are no candidates, except foreign doctors", from Romania or Morocco, who have to face a number of administrative difficulties, she laments.

“Concretely here, if we want to see a doctor, what happens?” Asked the candidate.

"You manage. You go to Noyon, to Compiègne, to the neighboring towns if the doctor can still take patients".

And for the aging population?

"People are calling 15," he adds.

"It's not possible that 10% of the population does not have access to a doctor," said Yannick Jadot, defending his proposal for a three-year installation obligation in medical deserts for young outgoing doctors. of training.

"When you are gendarmes, teachers, you do not choose your assignment" and "doctors are also paid by the community", he recalls.

In Margny-sur-Matz, a small town of 550 inhabitants led by the young environmentalist mayor Baptiste de Fresse de Monval, the candidate was also able to see the difficulties in terms of transport.

"If we want to escape all car, we need more public transport", challenged a resident, Hervé de Wachter.

“We need to rebalance our territories”

"In a lot of villages, you can't live without a car".

Bringing back economic activity "also makes it possible to limit forced travel, and therefore to reduce fuel bills", replied the candidate.

He welcomed the town hall's project, which took over the walls of the only inn in the village, which also serves as a post office and provides many services, to sustain the activity.

"We need to rebalance our territories", he underlined, wishing in particular to create "a national agency for rural renewal".

While strolling in the village, the candidate also noticed that the electoral panels of the commune were still blank.
