The return to the National Assembly will take place on October 3. In the meantime, some return to their primary job, an activity they never really left. Met.
In the middle of his cornfield in Moncontour (Vienne), Nicolas Turquois is a deputy almost on vacation. Elected Modem of Vienne for five years, he resumed his farming hat, after months under the golds of the Republic. “I no longer have the physical condition. Ten days ago I got sunburned, I who was rather dull, because at the Assembly, you don’t tan”, he confides. Since he was elected, he had to strengthen his team and recruit a person.
Among the twelve farmer deputies, Nicolas Turquois is not the only one to have put on the boots again. With his feet in the onion flowers to extract the seeds, he relies on safety, keeping his land. “Will there not be a dissolution? We don’t know. So at some point, if I’m no longer a deputy, what would I do?”, asks Nicolas Turquois. 800 km away, Éric Pauget, deputy (LR) of the Alpes-Maritimes, attends a small village festival in the hinterland of Nice. He must then return to take care of his campsite, which is full during this summer period.
