It's not always easy to follow Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (NDA), who supported the FN candidate in the between-rounds of the 2017 presidential election, and whose party Debout la France (DLF) has just signed an agreement with LR in Bourgogne Franche-Comté for the regional ones.
According to this agreement, all of the terms of which have not been made public, the number 1 on the list in Nièvre will be Pascal Lepetit, a DLF executive (who was an FN member until 2018).

“I am perfectly coherent, answers the person concerned. Gilles Platret is on a line well to the right, he has no ambiguity with En Marche. We signed an agreement to turn the left, that is the urgency. »In February, according to our information, NDA also met Laurent Wauquiez, boss (LR) of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region to negotiate, in vain, a similar agreement. “There are several LRs, assumes NDA. When I hear Laurent Wauquiez, Guillaume Peltier, Eric Ciotti, I tell myself that there are things to do, ”he explains.
