Céline Imart, a cereal producer from Tarn, will be number two on the LR list in the European elections in June and will wear “a message of roots, skills and renewal”announces Eric Ciotti in an interview with Figaro published Sunday February 18.

Spokeswoman for Intercéales, the inter-professional association which brings together cereal producers, cooperatives and exporters in France, Céline Imart is a farmer with a rather original background. “A brilliant graduate of Sciences Po Paris and Essec, after a career in business, she decided to take over the family business. A young mother, she is the symbol of this France of work that keeps her country alive “, explains Eric Ciotti.

“Through it, I wanted to give a voice to all those who are fighting, particularly in rural areas, to halt the decline of France”justifies the boss of the LR a few days before the opening of the Agricultural Show and after an episode of agricultural crisis and blockages throughout the territory.

“At this stage, the polls don’t mean much”

“I agreed to take up the challenge to change things on a European scale,” for her part declared Céline Imart at Figaroarguing that she knew “the constraints that the French face on a daily basis”.

Eric Ciotti says he is confident in the score that the list led by outgoing MEP François-Xavier Bellamy will obtain, despite polls capping it at around 8%.

“At this stage, the polls don’t mean much. What matters is the dynamic. Since entering the campaign, François-Xavier Bellamy has been gaining points while the majority list is in free fall. I am convinced that our list will create a surprise and that we will be in competition with that of the relative majority”predicts Eric Ciotti.
