The president of the Paca region, who slammed the door of Les Républicains in November, tackles his former party which he does not find strict enough against the far right and continues to maintain the vagueness on his possible rallying to Emmanuel Macron .
bring back “joy of living” and of “hope”. Nice program. This is what Renaud Muselier now wants to tackle. And for that, what better than to tap on his old party? The president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region, who left Les Républicains in November, knocks out his former comrades. In an interview at Parisian this Monday, he denounces the “intellectual drift” of those who refuse to choose between Macron and the far right.
In a campaign that he deems “not up to par”, Muzzle swears he will not support “never a candidate who does not clearly commit to call to block the far right in the event of absence in the second round”. A spade intended for Valérie Pécresse, invested by the right-wing party for the presidential election.
“Moral fault” and “political fault”
Already in November, by slamming the door of the Republicans, the elected representative of Paca regretted the disappearance of the cordon sanitaire around the far right. In his mouth, it read: “Today, there is no longer this red line marked definitively, it is a moral fault and it becomes a political fault.” Pécresse has since won the LR primary and recruited the very right-handed Eric Ciotti to advise her on authority.
At nearly sixty days from the first round, Renaud Muselier distributes the slaps. He estimates that “nobody is putting this presidential election on the right level” and regrets that no candidate brings “answering the questions that voters ask themselves”.
The chiraquien barely holds back his blows against Emmanuel Macron. He says wait “to see its program and its calendar”. The current Head of State must enter “in the game” for the campaign to be truly “launched”, he believes, before castigating “all those who only think of breaking Macron”.
A positioning that is not surprising. During the last regional elections in June, Muselier had reached an agreement with La République en Marche in the face of the risk of seeing the far right prevail. The episode had triggered a psychodrama at LR. Muselier therefore continues on his merry way towards the walkers.
