The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, was the guest of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews this Wednesday. At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, he denounces a certain radicalization of the Republicans after the right-wing party voted for the motion to reject the immigration bill on Monday in the National Assembly.
This is a difficult pill for the executive to swallow. This Monday, as the asylum and immigration bill arrived in the hemicycle of the National Assembly, the majority of deputies voted for the motion to reject the text, tabled by environmentalists. Among the voters: left-wing deputies, the National Rally, but also some Republican deputies.
A shock, when the government was counting on Eric Ciotti’s party to allow the debates to continue. Invited this Wednesday on the set of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews, the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi does not hesitate to talk about the radicalization of LR deputies. “When we see a part of the right allying itself with the radicalized extreme right to vote for a rejection motion proposed by the radicalized extreme left,” it is indecent, he judges.
“An evidence”
“I am not accusing the entire LR right”, nevertheless specifies the vice-president of the Horizons party. “I do not accuse the Senate, nor the 23 LR deputies who, with a lot of responsibility, either abstained, or voted against” the rejection motion, continues Christian Estrosi.
But, “it’s obvious” that there is a certain radicalization of LR deputies, denounces the mayor of Nice. “Eric Ciotti is not the only one to have adopted this position which seems shocking to me to simply refuse the debate. However, there was an opening from the Minister of the Interior so that there would be a certain number of “amendments, which seemed very interesting to me, moreover, and which could bring the text of the Assembly closer to the text of the Senate”, he concludes.
