Relations are still as tense between Renaud Muselier and Éric Ciotti.
The two men, who had already clashed in the 2020 regional elections in Paca, once again crossed swords this Wednesday, through the media.
Asked about BFMTV / RMC about the Les Républicains congress, which will take place in early December to nominate the right-wing candidate for the 2022 presidential election, Renaud Muselier announced that he "would
leave his political family without hesitation
" if Eric Ciotti came to take it away.
“
This will mean that I will be an arch-minority in my political family
,” he explained, adding that he would therefore “
immediately
”
slam
the door to LR.
"Renaud Muselier is Emmanuel Macron's little telegraph operator"
The president of the Paca region therefore invites "
all those who are reasonable
" and who "
want a future for the right
" to vote for another candidate. According to him, Eric Ciotti represents "
hatred
", "
rejection
", "
antipathy
", "
meanness
", "
wickedness
" and "
betrayal
". "
Anyway, you have to know something, it is that Mr. Ciotti, every time he supports someone, he loses
", he adds.
Attacks to which the person quickly responded. "
Mr. Muselier is Emmanuel Macron's little telegraph operator
," said Eric Ciotti, on France Info. “
He will support Emmanuel Macron no matter what. I said it at the time of the regional elections when he had entered into an unnatural alliance with En Marche !, I denounced this in my political formation
, ”he recalls.
According to him, Renaud Muselier "
advances masked
" but "
in reality, like some of his friends in the South who have already been in Emmanuel Macron's camp
(Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice, and Hubert Falco, the mayor of Toulon, support the President of the Republic for 2022, editor's note)
, it is totally macronized,
”he attacks.
He adds that if he was not invested during the LR congress, he would “
naturally
” support the candidate of his political family.
AMF: Muselier chooses a "Macron-compatible" UDI rather than Lisnard (LR)
For the presidency of the Association of Mayors of France, whose election will take place in mid-November, Renaud Muselier announced that he would support Philippe Laurent, the UDI mayor of Sceaux, who is among the “Macron-compatible”.
According to the president of the Paca region, "
the mayors of France cannot be represented by David Lisnard
", the LR mayor of Cannes, whom he accuses of having "
campaigned
" against him at the regional level, "
and therefore for the FN by Thierry Mariani
”.
