Eric Ciotti is not going to roll out the red carpet for Emmanuel Macron, visiting this Monday in Nice on the subject of security. The LR deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes and lieutenant of Valérie Pécresse even takes advantage of this presidential trip, which he will boycott, to accuse the head of state of “leaving the French a mechanical Orange France”, in Le Figaro to be published this Monday.
Criticizing “a safe Waterloo” when discussing the president’s record in the fight against delinquency, Eric Ciotti sharply attacks Emmanuel Macron visiting his constituency, a pretext according to the deputy for “a small electoral maneuver” .
A tackle against Christian Estrosi
“Emmanuel Macron is in the process of misleading the institutions by campaigning with the means of the State in a shameless manner. He comes to lay the fictitious first stone of a police station whose work will not begin for two years and whose building permit application has not even been filed ”, criticizes the elected official who will not participate in the traditional Republican reception. Eric Ciotti, on the other hand, will organize a “counter-programming” at the Nice remand center in the morning, said his entourage. Then he will launch the “Pécresse 2022” committee in the Alpes-Maritimes.
The President of the Republic must make announcements on the police and security during this trip. “I will not endorse this small electoral maneuver concocted by the mayor of Nice, Macron’s first zealot,” adds the deputy in an allusion to Christian Estrosi (ex-LR) with whom he maintains stormy relations.
In addition to the reference to the film by British director Stanley Kubrick, France Clockwork Orange is also the title of a controversial essay by Laurent Obertone published in 2013 and acclaimed in far-right circles. For Eric Ciotti, “the candidate of the order, it is Valérie Pécresse” and the “Beauvau of security or the white paper will have been nothing but palaver which did not lead to any major law of orientation for internal security. or Justice ”. The executive has yet announced to present a text for the beginning of the year. However, this will not be adopted before the end of the term of office due to the tight parliamentary calendar.
