NICOLAS TUCAT via AFPTarget of criticism for his deemed misuse of state planes, Jean Castex defends himself and evokes normal practice for his role as Prime Minister (photo taken in Toulon on June 5, 2021)POLITICS – The “controversy” catches up the Prime Minister. Recently pinned for his “immoderate passion” for the jets of the Republic, Jean Castex again used one of these state planes to go to his city, Sunday April 10, in order to vote in the presidential election. At the microphone of RTL this Tuesday, April 12, Jean Castex had the opportunity to come back to this new use of an airplane for a two-hour trip between Paris and his stronghold of Prades in the Pyrénées-Orientales. And according to the arguments of the Matignon tenant, this practice is not exceptional, given its status. “I used the usual rules that apply to the Prime Minister. I took a plane, whereas I hear that I took a private jet. I took a state plane. The Prime Minister, he must be in Paris very quickly, if there is the slightest problem”, argued Jean Castex. “The period is controversial, isn’t it?”, concluded Jean Castex with a smile, to sweep this question aside. Indeed, the controversy had quickly been swallowed up by the media news around the results of the first round, but several voices were raised on Sunday reporting an express trip of two hours by Emmanuel Macron’s Prime Minister to vote in the city where he was mayor from 2008 until his appointment as Prime Minister in the summer of 2020.6h30 minimum for a Paris-Prades train journeyThe head of government boarded a Falcon jet at Vélizy-Villacoublay to land in Perpignan, in 8:30 a.m. Then joining the city of Prades in a convoy, he finally left his city at 10:30 a.m. to return to Paris. A move far from being neutral in ecological terms but which could however be explained by the fact that the city of Jean Castex is not the best served in France. To connect Paris to Prades by train, the SNCF indicates that the shortest route takes 6h30. It even takes up to 8:40 a.m. for the longest journey. In an article by Mediapart, published in February, the newspaper raised its “immoderate passion” for the jets made available by the Republic for its travels, at the expense of the taxpayer. Trips aboard Falcon, which have become recurrent according to Mediapart, even for short trips. See also on The HuffPost: Macron pursued by his “macronades” in the interval between the two rounds?
