Since the announcement of the death of Jacques Delors, Wednesday December 27, tributes have multiplied. Emmanuel Macron notably hailed a “Statesman with a French destiny”.
A tribute unanimous. This Wednesday, September 27, the political class salutes the disappearance of a great man. For the former President of the Republic François Hollande, Jacques Delors is the one who “did not run after positions and mandates”. Jean-Luc Mélenchon puts forward a “socialist of the generation which had an ideal”. In many minds, Jacques Delors, it was especially the European. “He was a deeply convinced European but who, at the same time, had a critical look at Europe when necessary,” said Ségolène Royal.
The city of Lille moved
In the town run by his daughter, Martine Aubry, everyone remembers Jacques Delors. “One of the founding members of Europe and a good Minister of the Economy,” remarks a Lille resident. “He was a man who I thought was honest and honest,” explains another resident of the northern city. With Jacques Delorsa whole section of the left disappears.
