For Senator Bruno Retailleau, a new LR list is “difficult” to constitute

The president of the LR group in the Senate Bruno Retailleau estimated Tuesday that it would be “difficult” to present a new list in the regional elections in Paca.

“I think David Lisnard would be an excellent candidate, he would have to make up his mind,” said Bruno Retailleau on France 2 for whom his candidacy “would reshuffle the cards”. The mayor LR of Cannes David Lisnard had defended Sunday in the newspaper Nice morning the idea of ​​a “clear, new and fresh list”.

Several elected Republicans spoke on Monday of the hypothesis of the creation of an LR list against the outgoing president of the region Paca Renaud Muselier, after the withdrawal for his benefit from the LREM list for the regional ones. The question should be examined during a strategic committee organized Tuesday morning by Les Républicains.

Retailleau also denounces the LREM strategy

“The right and Macronism, it’s like water and oil, it cannot be mixed”, assured Retailleau, welcoming in passing the decision taken by Christian Jacob to “immediately disinvest, to withdraw our support for the list led by Renaud Muselier ”. An exclusion “is not the subject, he has put himself on the margins of our movement,” he added.

The leader of the Republicans in the Senate also denounced the strategy of La République en Marche en Paca, aimed at “finding a nominee who would allow them to be elected.” The score of En Marche in the municipal elections is 2%. It means that on their own, they are incapable of getting elected. “

Asked about the alliance in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté between the LR-UDI list headed by Gilles Platret (LR) and a regional manager of Debout la France (the party of Nicolas Dupont-Aignan), Bruno Retailleau considered that the boss of DLF had, since 2017 and its support for the National Rally, now “turned its back” on Marine Le Pen. “If we reject all those who have made the observation of their errors, (…) we will not manage to aggregate the French,” he said.
