Deconfinement: what will change this Wednesday for the French
"
As President of the Les Républicains party, the first force in opposition to Emmanuel Macron and his government, I appeal to the sense of responsibility and the cohesion of all in the face of the maneuvers and the depravities of the President of the Republic who wants to make the National Rally his one and only adversary
", writes President Christian Jacob, after having validated the support of the party in these terms:"
In the continuity and proud of the results of the past mandate, we wish the victory of Renaud Muselier for the regional of next June 27 thus preventing the switch to the National Gathering
”.
In this press release, the boss of the LR opens his decision by condemning "
the mediocre maneuvers of recomposition of French political life by Mr. Castex under the aegis of Emmanuel Macron
". He also notes that the presence of running mate of the presidential majority and the absence of parliamentarians Republicans on Renaud Muselier's list have "
created tensions and confusion on the ground, detrimental to the campaign
." "
Renaud Muselier, candidate for Les Républicains, he adds, made a mistake and an error in political analysis by not believing in his own strength and that of his political family, thus giving in to Elyos maneuvers.
He did not measure the fact that Mr. Macron is definitively reduced to playing with his sole capacity for nuisance, nor the weakness of LREM's territorial anchoring and his inability to lead a list under his own colors.
"
This final decision of support is taken thirty-four days before the elections while for weeks, the strategy of Renaud Muselier has caused a storm within the party.
The LRs were divided over the strategy of the outgoing president.
Muselier has not ceased to hammer home his desire to "bring together" while his supporters estimate that in the event of a victorious triangular, the representatives of the presidential majority who would obtain a seat within the regional majority would represent only 3% of elected.
“
You have to know how to read the numbers!
», Insists a relative.
But opposite, those who reproach him for an “agreement” with the presidential party claim that the Muselier list includes a good number of “camouflaged” macronists.
By integrating those of bold France, party of Christian Estrosi who is no longer LR, they go so far as to advance the figure of 28% of Macronist candidates.
Beyond this accounting battle, the last fragments of this internal clash were noted Monday evening in the Alpes-Maritimes where an 84% vote of the LR departmental committee validated the decision not to support Renaud Muselier's campaign. This federation of 8000 members is chaired by the deputy Eric Ciotti who is also president of the committee of investiture of the Republicans. "This alliance constitutes an insult to the militants and to our candidates engaged in the departmental elections", wrote the elected officials of a federation which represents nearly a quarter of the LR members at the national level.
