The number 2 of the Republicans Guillaume Peltier called on Saturday, September 19 for a "
common sense revolution
" based on "
work, order, popular ecology
" during his traditional Fête de la Violette where he vilified "
the Greens extreme left
”.

"
Today is the launch of a vision that we will call the common sense revolution
," he told journalists on the sidelines of the rally organized in La-Marolle-en-Sologne (Loir- et-Cher), stressing that "
there is a whole France of common sense, very majority, too often silent, which means to the enarques on one side and to the ideologues on the other, that's enough
".
"
I am an environmentalist and I am proud of it, but I do not accept that ecology is confiscated by an extreme left minority who says anything, who attacks the Tour de France with the fir trees, with secularism, which embodies separatism
", launched the deputy for Loir-et-Cher, pleading for a"
cultural fight against the Greens of the extreme left
".
He put forward "
very concrete proposals
" such as "
0% VAT for the direct sale of our farmers, for the middle classes who want to thermally renovate their private accommodation, for all those who take a TER, a tram or public transport ...
"or"
that the motorway companies be made to contribute to the tune of 1 billion euros each year to allow each French middle class to acquire a clean vehicle, whether electric or hydrogen
”.
Guillaume Peltier evaded the question of his candidacy, given as very likely, to the regional 2021. “
We will see in October who wants the most
” but “
I will take my responsibilities,
” he said.
While the right is still looking for a presidential candidate, he said he was "
convinced that a natural candidate will emerge in an obvious way
".
“
Xavier Bertrand may very well be this one.
It is not certain, it is a hypothesis, but this hypothesis exists,
”he added.
"
We need everyone, François Baroin, Valérie Pécresse, Xavier Bertrand ...
" because "
we must embody an alternative to the deadly duel Macron-Le Pen
", he said.
