Even if his camp was chosen Saturday Valérie Pécresse to try to conquer the Elysee Palace, Eric Ciotti wants his line to weigh during the campaign for the 2022 presidential election.

You have to be there to win. And nowhere else “, pleaded Eric Ciotti by inviting Valérie Pécresse to resume in particular” the abolition of inheritance tax, the massive reduction in income tax, the return of the double penalty, the establishment of different conditions acquisition of French nationality ”.
“When the right is on the right, there is no room for the extreme right,” said the deputy, who says he embodied “a proud right, which breaks the taboos of political correctness and breaks the ideological wall in which we were locked up ”. “Even if I do not win this congress, my ideas have triumphed”.
