Back to school is also political in Chambéry. The lawyer Christian Saint-André announces that he is currently working on a project for the municipal elections of 2020. The national authorities of La République en Marche (LREM) have not yet announced their official investitures for Savoie, but the lawyer Chamberlain does not wait. Even if he hopes for national support, it will be with or without the presidential majority let him go into battle.
“I am in favor of a civil society project” – Christian Saint-André, candidate for mayor of Chambéry
“I have a timing which is not at all that of political parties“explains Christian Saint-André to France Bleu Pays de Savoie.”I am not in the process of political parties, I am to carry a project of civil society“.
In this, Christian Saint-André places himself in the line of walkers who followed Emmanuel Macron in his early days. It announces indeed a list “of civil society“(whose names he has not yet released) and a project “participatory “that he will present “when the time comes“.
Supported locally by LREM
The lawyer can already count on the support of local LREM representatives. In a press release, LREM Savoie reports that “work group (who) has been collecting citizens’ contributions for several months now which will (…) bring together in _a very diverse list, the men and women who will carry this Chambéry project_. Centrist partners also joined (their) reflection“. Indeed, Christian Saint-André can also count on local MODEM representatives.
A list with new faces, unknown in politics
As at the beginning of LREM, Christian Saint-André announces a list in Chambéry with “new faces“, anonymous for many, and who will be”mostly first-time applicants to an elective mandate“.
Last January, outgoing mayor Michel Dantin (Les Républicains) announced that he was leaving for a second term. Unless agreed, he will therefore have in front of him a list sharing LREM ideas.
