Muriel Marland Militello entered politics by chance to prevent her district from falling into the hands of the leftists from Nice. But there is never really any chance involved; the daughter of a wine wholesaler, she has had a career at the University as a professor in Political Science. She was born in this very district which she now defends with conviction.
Muriel Marland Militello lives with passion because for her, passion is the engine of life. Her recent success in winning the internal elections of the U.M.P in the district shows that she seeks to convince all activists. She has made the streets of her district her playground. Against this passionate character confronts a much more rational aspect that will propel her in front of the voters during the next legislative elections in 2007. This contradiction emanates a significant altruism that she expresses in each of her human encounters. To enhance these encounters, she organizes a thematic meeting every first Thursday of each month.
She courageously opposes bullfighting, cockfighting, and other forms of animal fights. She recently sought to pass a bill to reform the civil code and the status of animals in society and to amend the use of animals in research environments. In her fight, carried out with Mrs. AUGIER, owner of the Negresco hotel, she quickly encountered various national political lobbies, and all her attempts regrettably remained confined to the arenas…
Youth provides her a true perspective on current events and society. A politician needs two qualities: the ability to wait and to react instantly when necessary. It’s also essential to have a sense of intuition for politics. She places great value on loyalty to convictions and people. She also relies on the experience of seniors who have so much to contribute to society. Before her legislative mandate, the non-profit world occupied a large part of her life, and she is committed to ensuring continuity and defending the image of French culture and its uniqueness.
A pluralistic society is important; France is built on pluralism. For the development of this society, the acceptance of identity differences brings us closer and unites us. Accepting a mosque in Nice means accepting this difference and not excluding it. But we must be wary of groups that might manipulate ideas as cards are shuffled in a game. In such cases, the right questions are yes, but where? and with whom?
Three men from Nice:
Auguste Vérola (Deputy of the 2nd district):
Too good, loyal, intelligent, and effective.
Christian Estrosi (Minister of Territorial Development):
Hard-working, innovative, entrepreneurial, and loyal.
Jacques Peyrat (Senator Mayor of the city of Nice):
Brutal, indecisive, and fragile.
