Hauts-de-France, he will have to get used to call it our new region Nord Pas-de-Calais Picardie ? Except big surprise last minute, the answer is “yes.” This name is part of the short-list combines many advantages and is favored by many northerners and Picards.
1. “Hauts-de-France”, the favorite polls
Last Sunday, La Voix du Nord published a survey on the new name of the region. “Nord Pas-de-Calais Picardy” in emerged largely victorious. A win for the honor because for several weeks, the Regional Council executive announced that the name would be retained in any case. So he had to look lower in the poll to find out what choice won membership. In the third, there were “Hauts-de-France” with 11%, ahead of “North France” (10%).
This result was confirmed many other informal consultations organized by the regional media. On France Bleu, for example, “Hauts de France” far outweighed before “Flanders-Artois-Picardie”. On our site France 3 Nord Pas-de-Calais, on 2 occasions, “Hauts-de-France” has arrived in the Top 3 favorite names of Northerners.
These last hours on social networks, “Hauts-de-France” is also a name that is often mentioned. By default sometimes but by conviction.
2. “Hauts-de-France”, the name that most household susceptibilities
“Hauts-de-France” is the only one of three names proposed to not refer to any of the old names. No North. No Picardy. No Pas-de-Calais. We start on something else. Friday morning, Le Courrier Picard regretted besides an editorial in the absence of the name “Picardie” in 3 choices. “ We will ask the Picards to swallow their pride to be Picards And it exists, this pride. the survey we published on Sunday showed a very strong attachment to the word Picardy. Tomorrow, it will only appear in a “subtitle” the future name of the greater region. “ the newspaper goes even up advising its readers to refrain from participating in the online consultation organized by the Region “to sort these three bad proposals.”
20 Minutes also notes that “Hauts-de-France is” name alone likely to unanimously at the consultation of the regional council of its constitution very “politically correct” that does not favor any department over another “
3.” Hauts-de-France “. the favorite elected Republicans?
Xavier Bertrand, President of the Regional Council took place during the campaign: “ Let Haut-de-France, or North-de-France, but are keeping Nord-Pas-de-Calais- Picardie below . “in September 2014, six LR mayors or UDI Nord Pas-de-Calais , some of which are now elected to the Regional Council, had created a website to support the merger with Picardy and they already offered at the time a name: “ Tomorrow, the region of” Hauts de France “will make a real link between Northern Europe and Greater Paris “
remember that the right has a comfortable majority in the Regional Council. 116 seats against 54 in the National Front. The vote will take place on Monday. The name chosen by the elected officials will be sent the next day to the regional prefect, Jean-François Cordet and the Council of Ministers will validate the choice of the new name of the region in early July. It is a decree of the State Council, before 1 October, which must approve the new name.
4. “Hauts-de-France”, the name alone compatible with the subtitle North Pas-de-Calais Picardie
In order not to disconcert and make the transition, the executive has announced plans to keep the subtitle ” Nord Pas-de-Calais Picardy. ” But by choosing “Nord de France” or “Terres du Nord” , the region would face redundancy “north” that would not be very happy. “Hauts-de-France, Region Nord Pas-de-Calais Picardie” seems more “aesthetic”.
5. “Hauts-de-France”, a name already used in the North Pas-de-Calais
Sport, culture, economy … The name “ Hauts-de-France ” is already used sometimes for long periods, in some places in the region. A business creation assistance association is called “BGE Hauts-de-France”, a figure skating club holds the trophy of the Hauts-de-France, regional handball site called “Earth Handball – Hauts de France “… Until 2006, Lillers candy called sugar Distilleries des Hauts de France. Assedic (before Pole Emploi) also spoke of “Hauts de France.”
