The week was "

painful

" for Aurélien Pradié, the deputy of Lot easily recognizes it.

Less than a week after his ouster from the executive vice-presidency of the Republicans by Éric Ciotti, the terrible child of the right clarified his vision of his political family, during a conference in front of a hundred students at Sciences Po Bordeaux.

The church silence on his arrival quickly dissipated, his taunts against his own side hit the mark.

We tell LR that we are a party of government, but it is an elegant way of saying that we are a party which can sit on all its convictions, on the pretext of regaining power”,

tackles the deputy .

The parliamentarian bitterly underlines that the right would no longer seek to address the majority of citizens, and takes the example of Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy who themselves “

spoke to all French people

”.

“Holders” and “Conquerors”

For Aurélien Pradié, there would now be two categories of politicians at Les Républicains: the “

annuitants

” and the “

conquerors

”.

According to the 36-year-old elected official, the "

annuitants

" of LR "

think that they still have an annuity and that not taking any risk guarantees them this annuity

".

The deputy compares these elected officials to “ poor

” squires

.

He prefers to defend the category "

conquerors, those who dare to take risks to speak to all French people

", recalling that the "

annuity

" of LR "

is less than 5%

" and that the right has lost ten million voters in a few years.

Mordicus defending his vision of pension reform, the deputy also took advantage of his exchange with Bordeaux students to respond to the criticisms that have arisen in recent days, in particular on his political line, which would lean towards the left.

"

You can't have a right brain that one day says that you respect work and effort, and the next day says that those who work the most will be penalized the most

," he persists.

I've been exploring paths that have been so uncharted for years that when someone opens them, it feels like the guy is on the left.

In politics there are two ways of exercising authority, by cutting off heads

”, finally mocks Aurélien Pradié, aiming without naming him Éric Ciotti, but also those “

of Jacques Chirac in 1995 and Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007

”.

Two men who were followed according to him "

because the vision they had was the right one to win and the right one for the country

".

When the text of the law on pension reform returns to the National Assembly in March, Aurélien Pradié hopes that his LR colleagues will be "no less than twenty" to

vote

like him, to "

dare to open up new avenues

" , abandoning their pension.
