Can Christian Estrosi be tempted to take the example of his colleague from Toulon Hubert Falco and leave Les Républicains in turn? This Wednesday, several regional sources seem convinced even if the city councilor of Nice and his entourage avoid responding to the press. One certainty: the day of Wednesday, during which the Republicans were torn around the candidacy of Renaud Muselier for the regional, deeply affected the mayor of Nice. Hubert Falco and he, notoriously in favor of an agreement with the presidential majority in Paca, were described as “evil friends” of the president of the region by Christian Jacob during a strategic committee. “I had Christian Estrosi on the phone last night. He was very disappointed, very sorry for what he heard yesterday, ”slips Hubert Falco.

In particular the very tense exchanges at the national investiture commission on Tuesday evening in which the mayor of Nice participated. "You are more and more ambiguous with the National Front, I consider that Macron is better than Le Pen", attacked Christian Estrosi who defends a regional agreement with En Marche in the name of the fight against the candidacy. RN by Thierry Mariani. "That's enough your allegations. We are tight with the Front and you will not be able to prove the contrary. The difference is that we are also with Macron. So far, I've gritted my teeth but it's starting to do well! », Then explodes Christian Jacob.

“I have only been to the CNI four times in four years.

Why don't you ever invite me?

», Also complains the Niçois.

"Why do you want us to invite people who stick knives in our backs?"

», Returns the president of the party.

Exchanges which, for many witnesses, constitute a point of no return between the two men.

"If Estrosi also leaves, it would be a triple show"

“Christian Estrosi does not intend to let his course of action be dictated. Either the party understands that its freedom is not negotiable and it lets it compose the list as it sees fit

(Editor's note: it is a leader in the Alpes-Maritimes)

or it will not be. He is trying to see if what was said yesterday to LR leaves him his freedom intact, "slipped Wednesday in the day one of his relatives who therefore left the threat of a departure floating. "Christian understands very well that Hubert Falco feels uncomfortable in the party…", adds the same.

If he really leaves LR, the management shouldn't cry bitterly. “Hubert Falco and Christian Estrosi are leaving LR. Thank you to them for finally clarifying their position after the failure of the attempt to destabilize our movement […]. Emmanuel Macron has lost his last Trojan horse, ”tweeted party treasurer Daniel Fasquelle, without waiting for formalization. “The best reward for us is the departure of Falco, who thus signs his crime. But if Estrosi also leaves, it would be a triple piece mounted, “rejoices in advance a tenor of the party.

But at the end of the afternoon, some still refused to believe it. “I spoke to him this morning. And I think that to withdraw from the LR campaign in Paca seems a more credible solution than to leave LR ”, slips an elected official who is close to him. "In CNI, he said he would remain faithful to his family until he was kicked out," adds a parliamentarian. He will not leave, he knows that he has values ​​in Macron's eyes only if he has the LR label… ”
