The president of the LRs shared, Thursday, May 26 on RTL, his analyzes on the potential end of the points permit, the burkini, the controversy Damien Abad, but also the chances of the LRs in the legislative elections.
Christian Jacob first explained, following a possible withdrawal of the points license, that “yes it’s a good thing”, then continued: “I understood that it was for technical and cost reasons. . Of course, the fine must be maintained. We have known a lot about the words and actions not taken by Emmanuel Macron. »
Then came a question on the decision to suspend the authorization of the burkini by the courts, after it had been authorized by the town hall of Grenoble: “It was the prefect of Isère who made a referral and he was right. It needs to be framed more. The mayor did it for religious reasons and that is why the administrative court was seized. Éric Piolle’s decision is completely crazy, we are in the midst of an Islamo-leftist delirium. It’s the door open to everything, and I think it should be framed by law. »
“We have a territorial anchorage and candidates, unlike LREM, who live in their constituencies. »
The Damien Abad controversy was also discussed. Christian Jacob first asked if he “can look at himself in a mirror when he gets up”, before castigating the government: “When the government says that it had no information, we want to pinch. I have been the subject of no referral or report of victims. In 2017, journalists had made a paper on “a relative of François Fillon” “who was the subject of rumors on this subject. For him, “it’s up to him [Abad] and the government to decide whether he stays or not. His political behavior is quite despicable. I speak about what I know, that is to say his political behavior. Matignon knew, the president too, I have no other information. »
And the legislative in all this? “I am convinced that these legislative elections will be a rebound for us. Does anyone in their right mind think Mélenchon can win a majority? There will be a rebound for us because we have a territorial anchorage and candidates, unlike LREM, who live in their constituencies. “Christian Jacob also gave two major measures of the LR program: “There are five priorities such as purchasing power with the cost of fuel falling or even health, by bringing young doctors to the territories in their two final years of boarding school. »
