Candidate of the New popular ecological and social union (Nupes) in the legislative elections of June 12 and 19, the Columérin socialist Fabien Jouvé received, yesterday, the visit and the support of Georges Méric, president of the departmental council of Haute-Garonne. The meeting took place in the bucolic and symbolic setting of the Château de l’Armurier, in the Ramassiers district, where Léon Blum took refuge between June and September 1940. After 82 days of trying to escape the German occupier , the leader of the Popular Front and Socialist President of the Council before the Second World War was arrested in Colomiers and deported to Buchenwald.
“I came here to support Fabien Jouvé because he is an exemplary socialist activist, believes Georges Méric. He is a true Republican who will be a very good deputy. He embodies the values of the left through his training as a history and geography teacher. and its involvement in society. It also represents this gathering of leftists who are not irreconcilable. As Léon Blum said: socialism was born in the consciousness of human equality”.
Accompanied, in particular, by departmental advisers Laurence Degers and Arnaud Simion, they took a few steps on the paths of the Bois de l’Armurié where a literary creation pays homage to Léon Blum.
