In the wake of Rachida Dati, excluded from the Republicans after accepting the Ministry of Culture, Aurane Reihanian leaves the LR party.
“I don't like what it has become: a movement that is locked in its functioning, without dynamics or leadership, without a project, without serious incarnation, which gives in to reactionary sirens (IVG) and mired in methods from another time »
, explains to
Figaro
the former president of Jeunes LR and current leader of the opposition in Bourg-en-Bresse.
In the eyes of this young elected official who has often claimed closeness with Laurent Wauquiez, Rachida Dati
“perfectly”
embodies the reasons for her
“engagement”
in political life.
He believes that the career of the mayor of the 6th arrondissement of Paris
“commands respect”
.
He also says he is
“happy”
that the world of culture can
“open up”
and not remain the
“reserved domain of a certain elite”
.

Gérald Darmanin, the one who can
“embody the right”
But for Aurane Reihanian, the other political personality who seems to him to be at the heart of what
“the right must embody”
is called Gérald Darmanin.
The Minister of the Interior appears to him as an incarnation of
“order, work and merit”
.
He rewards him with a
“popular”
speech based on a
“personal and sincere story”
.
The local elected official, who did not inform Éric Ciotti of his decision (he considers communication with the leader of the right
“extremely difficult”
), assures that he is leaving
“neither for a position nor for a promotion”
but because of a disagreement with the ideas and strategy of the Republicans.
Aurane Reihanian will not wait for the LR project of the Europeans and nor for the entry on the scene of the LR president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
“My education and my vision of human relations forbid me from saying the slightest bad thing about Laurent Wauquiez, who is an excellent regional president.”
