Pressure surge, the day after his defeat.
Asked this Sunday morning, Eric Ciotti felt that the message sent by Valérie Pécresse, who beat him in the LR primary, was "not the right one".
"I support her, but I hear that my ideas are represented with force," hammered the deputy for Alpes-Maritimes at the microphone of journalists, on the sidelines of a trip following a rally with his supporters.

Invited on Saturday evening on TF1's television news, Valérie Pécresse, categorized less on the right than Eric Ciotti, had said "do not believe that the extremists have the solution".
She had said that she did not intend to take all the proposals of her former competitor.
"I will bring together all my friends on the right, and Eric Ciotti will have his place in my campaign, like Xavier Bertrand, Michel Barnier and Philippe Juvin," she assured at the same time.
Joint travel Monday
Shortly before this speech, Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour, who is holding his first major campaign meeting this Sunday, appealed to LR voters to join them. “We are so close and we have so much in common! I want you to know that I think of you with affection. Be certain of my desire to see us, soon, rise to the assault of fate, and raise again very high the flag of our homeland (…) I believe that we will be united soon, and I guess that you believe it too “, For example wrote the polemicist in an open letter.
Eric Ciotti, rather benevolent with Eric Zemmour and who nevertheless won 39% of the votes of LR members during the congress, therefore expects his ideas to be taken into account.
No doubt he will have the opportunity to talk about it, directly, with Valérie Pécresse from this Monday.
Both must meet during a joint trip, in the Alpes-Maritimes.
