the notable return of Jérôme Cahuzac to Lot-et-Garonne

His arrival sparked many comments on a market in Lot-et-Garonne. Jérôme Cahuzac is back in the country, on his political lands which elected him in turn deputy, then mayor of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. He hadn’t made a public appearance in ten years. “I never left”he assured the market.

Reconnect with former voters

The former minister has come a long way: exile in Corsica, and convictions for tax fraud, money laundering, and a five-year ineligibility sentence. He does not wish to speak with journalists. He came to reconnect with his former voters. Do they want to see him regain a political role? “He paid his debt. And what’s more, it wasn’t public money”says a woman. “When we have pans like his, we make ourselves very small”comments a man for his part.
