Prostitution and recreational drug use approved by RildanoriansARLOUX - It took more than three years for the controversial subject raised in 4851 by the Republican Rally of Rildanor during a session of the National Convention to find a firm response from the Rildanorians.
In January 4852, the conventionists, all stamped NPP at the time, abstained from voting on the project to ban prostitution and drugs. This project defended by the RRR, the objective of which was "to restore social and family values which allow the development of all and especially the youngest", did not find support in the NPP camp. Nevertheless, the popular conventionists had the ingenious idea to let the rildanorients express themselves on this question by proposing a referendum.
After procrastination in the Republican camp, whose electoral weight was then non-existent, the RRR and Zacharie Pichon - its president - finally submitted to the idea of a plebiscite in order to make the conventionists bend. After a long, hard and trying campaign, the vote was held on March 5, 4855 and the response of the Rildanorians is final, it could be in this sentence: "do not touch my prostitute and my drugs!". If the national participation in this ballot is not miraculous (48.83%), the answer to the question asked ("Are you in favor of the prohibition of prostitution and drugs?"), The Rildanorians answered “No” at 67.03% (23,220,031 votes). Thus, only one in three voters (32.97%, 11,422,086 of votes) was in favor of the conservative measures of the RRR.
The results by state all confirm the same trend. In Boudigaux, voters were particularly mobilized (63.92% participation) unlike Morbanaque where voters fled the polling stations (35.61%). It is in Tiralouse where the inhabitants were most hostile to these bans, answering "no" to 72.53%, as in Morbanaque (72.15%). On the island of Montpellier, the Republican bill obtained the best support rate with 41.38% of the votes cast in favor of "yes". But in the whole country, the answer is the same: the rejection of these prohibitions.
As soon as the results were announced, Zacharie Pichon spoke publicly. He hastened to attack the wording of the question asked: "It would have been preferable to cut the question in two and to propose on the one hand the prohibition of prostitution and on the other hand the prohibition. drug. Voters who are in favor of banning one but the other voted "no". As a result, the results are biased ”. The progressive members of the RRR did not want to support these remarks which stop on the form and not on the substance. One thing is certain, this political episode caused the isolation of Zacharie Pichon and weakened him in the perspective of the party's future primaries in the general elections of 4857.
