On December 31, the Republican candidate, Valérie Pécresse, was herself indignant on Twitter at the presence of the only European flag, and not the two flags of the EU and France, under the Arc de Triomphe.

The LR candidate then asked "

solemnly to Emmanuel Macron to restore our tricolor flag next to that of Europe

".

A call taken up by Eric Ciotti, the latter accusing at the same time the Head of State of being the "

president of the erasure of our national identity

".

"Valérie Pécresse will be President of the Republic"

"

I am European but I am first and foremost French

", recalls Éric Ciotti this Sunday. For him, the withdrawal of the flag is a "

form of precipitation

", even a "

panic

". The support of Valérie Pécresse believes that the PFUE "

will be a vector of communication during an election period

" and says she is "

shocked

" by what he considers as a "

use of institutions for electoral purposes

". For him, "

behind the president, the candidate is there permanently

". He also criticizes the Head of State for being "

a little uprooted

" and even asserts that Emmanuel Macron "

does not like France

".

The deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes also underlines that Emmanuel Macron could have "

not taken

" this presidency of the European Union. According to him, this is an additional fault committed by the government. Convinced that in four months, "

Valérie Pécresse will be President of the Republic

", the support of the candidate of the Republicans reminds us that to be on the right, "

is to love France, is to love its history, is to love its culture

”. He specifies his attachment to "

a Europe which does not erase the peoples

", believing that it would have been "

so much simpler for there to be the two flags.

".

This was particularly the case in 2008, during the previous French presidency of the European Union, under Nicolas Sarkozy.
