It's as if his controversial departure from the Republicans to join the government and the recent rape charges against him have absolutely no effect on the people of Ain.

Damien Abad flew over the 5th constituency of Ain this Sunday, obtaining 33.4% of the vote, barely less than his 35% in 2017. Above all, he has 10 points more than his opponent in the second round on Sunday. next, the candidate of the Nupes Florence Pisani (23.5%).

With 19.7% and 9.9% respectively, Joëlle Nambotin (National Rally) and Julien Martinez, invested at the last minute by LR because of the "betrayal" of the former boss of the party's deputies in the National Assembly , are themselves out of the race.

No sanction vote therefore and a local anchor still as strong for the one who has been a deputy since 2012 in the Oyonnax region.

"We must now move forward calmly and with determination"

In front of the town hall of this city, which has rarely attracted as many media as on Sunday evening, the Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and Disabled People delivered his first reaction.

He admitted to being “touched” by this massive vote in favor of his candidacy.

These results are very encouraging and they deserve to be confirmed next Sunday.

We must mobilize voters to block this project of rebellious France which is a project of risks, threats and danger for France.

We must now move forward calmly, with determination, and show that the challenge today is to initiate reforms.

And for that, we need deputies who work in this commitment to reform and who do not block everything.
