Coralie Dubost is a member LaREM of the 3rd district of the Hérault. In an interview in Figaro , this lawyer of 35 years specialized in alternative modes of regulations of a conflict that was, prior to his election in June 2017, project manager at the Montpellier Business School, looks back on the crisis of the "yellow vests". Since a few weeks, she is more present on the ground and making a number of public meetings, as this Thursday evening at Galargues and Vendargues in his constituency, to interact with its voters and in particular the "yellow vests" come in number. The elected local accent is expecting a lot of the great national debate that the president of the Republic launched until march, and she hoped, beyond his necessary aspect catharsistique, that he will re-establish contact and foster dialogue between all the different bodies of the company.

LE FIGARO.- The budget 2019 and the law concerning emergency measures for economic and social now voted, and the crisis of the "yellow vests" is over?

Coralie DUBOST.- The term "movement" seems to me more just that crisis. The more I trade with them, the more it is obvious that the majority of the "yellow vests" in the territories are people who want to move the lines of societal in all of the situations that they identify as unjust. From this point of view, we want the same thing. It is now necessary to agree on the method and the options for action. My political commitment was made on this same desire for transformation but, in 2017, it was a movement of hope. A year later, it is the anger of despair that expresses itself, because people see that there are a lot of reforms in the last 18 months but don't know exactly how, why, when, and to whom they are addressed. They want explanations and results.

Don't you fear that the box of Pandora is open and that the government should be forced to write cheques, as we have seen on Wednesday night with the police - to all the corporatism that will manifest?

there are several items in this issue. First Pandora's box, it is not the "Yellow vests" neither the government, which was open. She was already for many decades, unaided by the public debt. We have this desire to stem the debt with a budget plan multi-year. It is very rational in terms of management, and we keep this objective, but we may be led to way too arid. It was reasonable to provide flexibility on the human level, budgetary rigour. In this movement, the "yellow vests", it is the human that is claimed, the capacity to respond to troubles human individual, which have existed for well over 18 months, of course, but call for immediate reactions. We need to discuss the cards on the table with each body: your needs, our constraints, the common solutions are possible.

Many say that the five-year term Macron is finished and that the president is going to have down on the reforms, scheduled to come (unemployment insurance, State pensions, etc.). And you?

Some say it has every reform, every survey... on The contrary, I think that the five-year programme will find a new breath. We, as parliamentarians in direct contact with the "yellow vests" and other citizens in the territories, we feel it is more legitimate to enforce the expressions of the territories, it is rather good news. Personally, this movement doesn't scare me, it gives me more energy to act and interact. I joined In March! in particular, on the question of the end of themselves. More than ever, it is urgent to foster dialogue between the different bodies of the company. This is the social pact, even that it is necessary to update, and not only between politicians and citizens. Businesses, associations, artists, teachers, unions and even journalists are concerned. Nobody will be able to live in a society where every body distrusts. We have this huge responsibility of remaking society.

What do you expect concretely from the great national debate announced by the president? Is it not organized simply to provide an outlet for all the malcontents of the macronisme?

The catharsis is a necessary step, and I accept it fully. It has been too long that some have been cut off from the public debate. So yes, a consultation meeting often begins with name-calling and accused of all sorts. But it does not stop there. The "yellow vests" remain more than 3 hours and 30 minutes continuously within a room to share, this is not to scream but to understand, and it is very interesting. In Galargues or Vendargues Thursday evening, when a "yellow jacket" me invective, I don't take it at all personally, I understand what I represent, what my mandate crystallizes expectations, and what my mandate obliges me to return it to the fellow. It is my duty to show them that I trust them to exceed the invective and working together in the background. And you know what, it works! At the end of a consultation meeting, I have a flipchart full of ideas, and the "yellow vests" that come to me, showing be happy to have been able to be listened to and to have shared this time of exchanges. We have all policies, regardless of the label, the responsibility to make the first step. Then, relationships are formed gradually.

What have you learned from this crisis -sorry, movement - unique, that no one saw coming, on the way to make the policy and the report -including yours - elected "people"?

The original movement is arriving in just a few weeks after my return to the field. I had left my vice-presidency of the group in the national Assembly to find more time in my constituency and that is exactly what was missing in my term of office: time of trade, local working directly with the population. I already worked a lot in collaboration theme with the bodies concerned in the first head of the reforms. However, it remained difficult to organise public debates transpartisans and the "yellow vests" have highlighted the absolute need to communicate ever more on the State action. Whatever the rationality that presides over this or that policy decision, and budgets, we all terribly and beautifully human,
