Guillaume Peltier is at the heart of a controversy.
The former vice-president of the Republicans, who recently joined Eric Zemmour, wrote an email to LR members to call on them to do like him by joining the candidate of the far-right party Reconquest!
for the 2022 presidential election. An approach that did not please the president of the Les Républicains party, Christian Jacob, who seized the National Commission for Informatics and Freedoms (CNIL) on Thursday, according to information from RTL.
In his email, the now spokesperson for Eric Zemmour "calls on the voters of the Republicans" to join the Reconquest party !.
"I call on all those who believed in the RPR, those who loved Philippe Séguin and Charles Pasqua, those who had their hearts beating during the campaigns of Nicolas Sarkozy, those who want the right to remain the right, to join us" , writes the deputy of Loir-et-Cher in his message.
"Fraudulent use" of LR party files
In his letter sent to the CNIL, Christian Jacob believes that "the sending of this communication characterizes a fraudulent use of our files since the only executives of the movement can consult them", according to BFMTV which broadcast the mail on its antenna. of the President of the Republicans.
The latter specifies that "as a former executive, he
(Guillaume Peltier)
was no longer entitled to use them".
Say @G_Peltier, I believed in the RPR and I joined it, when you were in the FN.
I campaigned in Demain France with Pasqua and in the RAP with Philippe Séguin.
So write instead to those who believe in you, who have loved you or who have had a beating heart during your campaigns, that will be enough.
