The former candidate for the 2017 and 2022 presidential elections will not be elected to the European Parliament. The Rural Alliance list did not glean the 5% of votes necessary to benefit from a seat in Strasbourg.
Head of the Rural Alliance list for these 2024 European elections, list of the president of the National Hunters’ Federation, Willi Schraen, Jean Lassalle did not collect the 5% of votes necessary to send deputies to the European Parliament. Throughout the campaign, polls gave the Rural Alliance list between 1% and 1.5% of voting intentions. This movement which intends to highlight the “defense of rurality” will not have succeeded in its bet even if it ultimately obtained 2.35% of the votes.
When Jean Lassalle announced his candidacy around a banquet
Just a few weeks ago, Jean Lassalle launched into a wild “paquito” at the Vendée stand, in the middle of the Agricultural Show. On Tuesday March 5, the former candidate for the 2017 and 2022 presidential elections announced his candidacy for the European elections, which will be held next June. A statement that came while Jean Lassalle was spending a pleasant time on the Gaec Ker Saout Rü farm, located in La Chapelle-Fleurigné, not far from Fougères, in Ille-et-Vilaine. As relayed by our colleagues from The Republican Chroniclethe 68-year-old Béarnais, a figure of the French region, spoke to a small committee gathered around a table on which were crepes, homemade jams, pâtés, rillettes, a bottle of fresh milk and “Papi” cider .
In this good-natured atmosphere, while anecdotes and jokes were flowing, Jean Lassalle did not miss the opportunity to sing along. Then, after congratulating the farmers and their wives for their beautiful children, the former MP made his big announcement in front of the dozen guests gathered around the tasty snack, “between two sugar pancakes”, specifies The Republican Chronicle.
