There are only two days of campaigning left for the legislative elections. Some ministers play their place in the government. This is particularly the case of Clément Beaune, in the 7th district of Paris.
Former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe came to support the Minister in charge of Europe and legislative candidate, Clément Beaune. Arriving second in the first round five points behind, he risks losing his place in government in the event of a defeat on Sunday. “I’m never going to approach a voter and say ‘listen, I really like the life of a minister, support me’. That does not make any sense. I won’t make anyone cry about my fate“, did he declare.
A few meters further on, his opponent de la Nupes tows in a market. Caroline Mecary, a lawyer and LGBT activist, says she has “very hopeful. You know how it works, usually first round logics are amplified in second round, and I do everything to win“. Another minister in difficulty, Amélie de Montchalin was clearly beaten in the first round by the socialist Jérôme Guedj.
