The scene is as brief as it is surreal. A few minutes after announcing his desire to ally with the National Rally for the next legislative elections, the president of the Republicans Eric Ciotti saw a surprise guest arrive while all the cameras were focused on him, in front of the party headquarters.
In the BFM images, we see a woman with short hair, who is none other than the green MP Sandrine Rousseau, who stands next to him, interrupting him with “Shame on you!” “.
“You don’t deserve the name (Les Républicains) which is written on your facade,” she adds, pointing to the LR building before turning on her heel. “Your diatribe honors me, madam,” Ciotti replied, immediately admitting to the journalists present that he “did not see that it was her.”
