During a meeting with the leadership of the Republicans, the president of the party Éric Ciotti announced the creation of the Estates General of the right by June, in order to ideologically rearm LR in view of 2027.

The president of the Republicans no longer wants to see his camp show his divisions. Wednesday during a meeting with the leadership of the party, Eric Ciotti announced the creation of the Estates General of the right by June. The objective is to ideologically rearm LR in view of the next presidential election in 2027. These Estates General must thus define the official line of the party on a whole series of subjects: pensions, but also immigration, or the environment .
In reality, the President of the Republicans wants to coordinate the right-wing party so that it is more credible during the debates in the Assembly, 15 days after being forced to convene a political bureau to decide on the party’s position on the reform. retirements. “We cannot criticize the texts of the government without having a clear counter-offer to present”, confides a leader to Europe 1.
Merger between Ciotti and Retailleau
The deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes also announced on Wednesday the future creation of a think tank, on the model of the La Boétie institute founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon last month. It would be made up of about twenty intellectuals supposed to beef up the ideological corpus of the right. A refoundation by the ideas that Bruno Retailleau called for during the internal campaign of the Republicans.
The senator from Vendée and Éric Ciotti thus sign their rapprochement, facilitated by the ousting of Aurélien Pradié from the organization chart ten days ago. Those close to the latter are now boycotting meetings at headquarters while waiting for a meeting with the party president.
