The head of the Republican list for Europeans François-Xavier Bellamy strongly criticized on Monday the
“individual poaching”
practiced by the RN and the Macronist camp on the traditional right, setting up a cordon in particular with Emmanuel Macron for whom he

The LR list is becalmed around 7 to 8% of voting intentions, dangerously close to 5%, synonymous with the disappearance of the European Parliament.
“Come back!”
The announcement this weekend of the arrival of Malika Sorel, former support of François Fillon, as number 2 on the RN list, succeeding that of Fabrice Leggeri, former director of Frontex, pushed the president of LR Éric Ciotti to urge his voters on Saturday:
“come back!”
.
“It is not because the National Rally, exactly like Emmanuel Macron, practices individual poaching that we will disappear
,” insisted François-Xavier Bellamy.
Asked about the revelation by the number 2 on his list, Céline Imart, that she had never voted for Emmanuel Macron, who found himself twice facing Marine Le Pen in the 2nd round of the presidential elections of 2017 and 2022, he replied:
“we are not going to break the secrecy of the voting booth, I did not vote for Emmanuel Macron, that’s all I can tell you”
