Eric Ciotti does not budge, for him the time is no longer for politeness with Emmanuel Macron. Member of Valérie Pécresse’s team, he hits the President of the Republic who came to “piss off” the LR candidate.
The time has come for tensions between Emmanuel Macron and Eric Ciotti. January 10, The Parisian reported the boycott of the member of the campaign team of Valérie Pécresse of the arrival of the President of the Republic in his region (Alpes-Maritimes). And that day, the politician still hits the head of state on RMC. “Mr. Macron today he comes to one of his supporters, Mr. Estrosi, and besides you said it in your antenna, a few minutes ago, did he declare. He says, he’s coming to piss off Valérie Pécresse, so here we are in police politics. “
If he went to Nice it is because Brigitte Macron’s husband laid the first stone of the Hôtel des Fonts, a new generation police station of 50,000 square meters bringing together national and municipal police. Alongside Christian Estrosi, he also defended his record against criticism from the right. And is projected in the post-2022 on the regal themes.

A boycott that does not pass
Eric Ciotti therefore refuses to “subscribe“, as he made it known. While Emmanuel Macron goes to the Roya valley, devastated by storm Alex in 2020, the next day, January 11, Eric Ciotti, at the same time, launches the “support committee“departmental to the candidate of the Republicans. An absence of meeting which derogates from the rule of”republican welcome“, to which elected officials and local deputies are normally subject to the arrival of the President of the Republic on their land.
A boycott which therefore did not pass within the majority. “For a man who spends his days teaching lessons about the Republic and the nation, it is at least paradoxical, at most not up to the task“, estimated a minister of the Macron government. For his part, Roland Lescure, LREM deputy, commented:”Ciotti is getting worse than his caricature. “
