Who will expel the other for the LR presidency? – release

Between us, it was time that this campaign for the presidency of LR ends. The two candidates being more or less on the merits, they needed, to stand out from each other, make overbidding, make an impression by all possible means. So on the dumpster the rule of law, « Not intangible, nor sacred », If we believe Bruno Retailleau. And why not, as long as we are there, Send foreigners under OQTF to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelonif we understood Laurent Wauquiez. It is that the presidency of LR, in the minds of the two men, is only a step for the 2027 presidential election, hence their temptation to ratify now on the lands of the extreme right. After all, the border has become fragile between the two parties: the previous president of LR, Eric Ciotti, did not hesitate to ally with the RN During the last legislative elections before leaving his duties to create his own far right party.

The profile and positioning of the two candidates speak of themselves. Spiritual son of the sovereignist Philippe de Villiers, a practicing Catholic, very conservative, Bruno Retailleau did not bloom by chance at the Ministry of the Interior. The former Vendée senator is on a hard line in security matters, and it is not only for electoral reasons. He objectively played rather well by integrating the government. He, the eternal second, suddenly took the light. The same cannot be said of Laurent Wauquiez who thought he was preserving himself by taking the presidency of the LR group in the National Assembly: in the end, he failed to print. And its ultra-right comments are not new. Already in 2017, Xavier Bertrand had left LR when Wauquiez had taken the lead, accusing him of « Running after the National Front ». Bruno Retailleau holds the rope for the moment, if we believe the polls, but the record increase in the number of members In recent weeks, in recent weeks can surprise. History has shown that the presidency of LR can drive crazy and that everything is possible.
