The wishes for the upcoming year are also an opportunity to reflect on the one that has just passed and a chance for some predictions.
At his office, the deputy from La République En Marche, elected in the 3rd constituency of Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Roussel “zoomed in” on this particular moment, eye fixed on the future.
My mandate? I consider myself a citizen engaged in politics. I listen to what is happening on the ground with a lot of humility. My role is to accompany the laws that are voted on in the territory and to explain them well so that they are understood. It is never done enough.
2018? A year full of emotions. We went from the triumph in the FIFA World Cup to the Yellow Vests crisis! Who can say otherwise?
Yellow Vests The frustrations of 30 years without response have led to the revolt. The crisis had acute moments, now it is time to move towards calm.
Representative democracy vs participative democracy I see a great contradiction in this accusation. We have a national representation that, thanks to the majority, has never been more representative of civil society and includes a high percentage of newcomers. I am an example of this: until two years ago, I was not involved in politics. I had a profession.
The Great Debate It is a good thing. Everyone will be able to think, express themselves, and say what they think is wrong. There will be a synthesis, proposals will be made, decisions will be taken, and things will move in the right direction.
Good deputy rating by the specialized press I try to be effective and bring consistency to my action. I am not at the National Assembly to shine personally but to participate in a collective effort. I have targeted areas such as education, sports, and society.
Municipal elections 2020: it is certain that LREM must appear in some form. Under what form? We will see in a few months after the European elections. What matters is especially the project for the city, which must be balanced and inclusive. We need to talk about territorial divisions that exist in terms of transport and, consequently, mobility. Limiting ourselves to Estrosi/Ciotti seems caricatural, as well as the unrealistic “neither-nor”.
Personal aspirations Engagement in politics should be a passage and have an end. I know I have a term that ends in 2022. When we see the same people for 30 years, it poses a problem.
