“It was not an easy decision to make but we took it in the interests of Brittany”. Daniel Cueff knew he was courted after the first round of the regional elections where he came in sixth position with 6.52% of the vote. After proclaiming throughout the campaign that he would not make any alliance, the former mayor of Langouët (Ille-et-Vilaine), known for his fight against pesticides, finally accepted the hand extended by the socialist Loïg Chesnais-Girard , came first with 20.95% of the votes.

“My choice fell on a project because we have many challenges to overcome together,” said Daniel Cueff, contacted by 20 minutes. The announcement of the merger of the two lists should be made official this Monday at the end of the afternoon during a press point organized in Rennes.

Loïg Chesnais-Girard was “afraid of change”, according to candidate EELV

With this agreement, the outgoing socialist president has therefore found his environmental ally for the second round. But it is not necessarily what we expected. At the beginning of the afternoon, the EELV candidate Claire Desmares-Poirrier, who came fourth with 14.84% of the vote, had indeed announced the failure of discussions with Loïg Chesnais-Girard.

“I regret this choice because there was room to build a large majority around leftist values ​​and ecology” indicated the ecologist, seeing “a form of fear of change” in his opponent. “We had the possibility of ending the Le Drian era and opening up another story, but Loïg Chesnais-Girard was not able to make this strong and courageous political act,” she regretted.
