Who will accompany François-Xavier Bellamy, Céline Simard, Christophe Gomart on the complete list of Republicans for the European elections? The answer should come this Tuesday as party executives recently met to choose between historic heavyweights and new faces.
With the European elections fast approaching, it is time for Les Républicains to choose who will accompany François-Xavier Bellamy, Céline Imart, and Christophe Gomart on the party list. This Monday, LR executives met at headquarters to reach an agreement and among the discussions, two cases were particularly debated, Nadine Morano and Brice Hortefeux, two historic Sarkozysts.

Many are pleading for new faces to emerge and uncertainty still hangs over their fate this Tuesday morning. It must be said that the party delayed the deadline for a long time.
