Final stretch before the regional elections (December 6) with consequences far more significant than they seem. On one hand, this is because the competencies of the new regions have evolved, particularly in terms of economic development and thus employment, which is the number one concern of families.
On the other hand, this election will determine, for the next 18 months, and thus during the pre-presidential phase, the balance of power.
For Robert Injey, the most representative of the Nice communist leaders and a candidate on the “co-operative” list in the Alpes-Maritimes, “Today, it is urgent to break out of this sad scenario!”
For him, “The emergence of a true alternative on the left is possible. Left Front, communists, ecologists, breakaway socialists, angry citizens… It’s beginning to add up! Converging together and massively on the same vote on December 6 is what can create the event and give a perspective of hope!”
In the PACA Region, the list led by Sophie Camard (EELV) and Jean Marc Coppola (PCF-FDG) reflects this alternative left.
“We will be the spokespeople for the citizen and local alternatives that are useful for the general interest” is their commitment, which is expressed in the key points of their program.
