Rudy Salles has announced his candidacy for the parliamentary seat in the 3rd constituency of Alpes-Maritimes. As a reminder, the politician, leader of the New Centre in the department, has been elected to the National Assembly since 1988.
The speeches of Christian Estrosi (already gearing up for the 2014 municipal elections, judging by his thorough assessment of his current term) and Eric Ciotti (focused on the 2012 Presidential election) were somewhat off-topic, but let’s return to the main subject of the day.
The ceremony took place in a friendly atmosphere with the presence of the mobile bus-office, which symbolizes Rudy Salles’ grassroots approach to his constituents, as he emphasized: “This bus is my trademark. It’s with “him” — I say “him” because it’s almost like a family figure! — that I reach out to everyone who needs to contact me. I visit in person, as my colleagues know well, at least once a week. This allows me to assert that I am a grassroots representative, with this bus as the symbol.”
To continue and conclude: “We must keep our feet on the ground and be active both in Paris, at the National Assembly, and here on the ground, listening to citizens and their problems. We must never forget that we are the people’s elected representatives.”
Will the meetings with voters on June 10 and 17 lead to another full house (9 elected representatives in the 9 constituencies of the Alpes-Maritimes department) for the local right-wing?
There is no doubt that the momentum from the presidential election will have a significant influence on the vote that will take place a few weeks later.
Rudy Salles, one of the leading figures in the political life of Nice and the Côte d’Azur, believes it and will exert all his influence to ensure that the current situation remains the same in the next legislature.
