The deputies will return to the National Assembly on October 3. In the meantime, some return to their primary job, an activity they never really left. One is a farmer, the other owner of a campsite. 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 12 farmer deputies, Nicolas Turquois is not the only one to have put on the boots. With his feet in the onion flowers to extract the seeds, he relies on safety by keeping his land. “Won’t there be a dissolution? We do not know anything. So at some point, if I’m no longer an MP, 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.
