The president of LR accused Emmanuel Macron of campaigning on state resources, a situation “not far from the embezzlement of public funds”,
The president of LR Christian Jacob accused Emmanuel Macron of campaigning on the means of the State, a situation “not far from the embezzlement of public funds”, in an interview with Figaro published on Wednesday.
The head of state, who is still not a declared presidential candidate, “campaigns with the means of the state, which is not acceptable. We are not far from the embezzlement of public funds” , estimated the boss of LR. According to him, Emmanuel Macron is delaying his candidacy announcement “because he has no balance sheet to present”.
Christian Jacob had seized on January 11 the commission of campaign accounts as well as Arcom (ex-CSA) to alert them to the expenses related to the travel of Emmanuel Macron. On Tuesday, LR deputy Eric Ciotti spoke of a “democratic scandal”.
“Éric Zemmour is in the permanent incantation, but where are his proposals?”
Asked moreover about the “union of the rights” that promotes Eric Zemmour, Christian Jacob estimated that “it is above all the union of those who return their jackets and betray their camp, with small poaching and small tricks”.
But “all this does not make a political project” because “Éric Zemmour is in the permanent incantation, but where are his proposals?” he wondered.
Regarding sponsorships, he recalled “a clear rule”: “when you are a member of the Republicans, you support the LR candidate, that is to say Valérie Pécresse”. “I do not imagine that some LR mayors support another candidate”, he assured, saying he was “really confident for the presidential election” under the leadership of Valérie Pécresse who “knew how to give real hope to the right-wing people “.
