The Breton patron of the Rassemblement Nationale received this Sunday in Rennes, his friend Gilbert Collard. The opportunity to take stock of the upcoming elections, including the municipal of 2020, where the movement intends to create surprises.

MP RN du Gard and member of the national committee of the National Assembly, Gilbert Collard was in Rennes, Sunday, October 21st. A trip to participate in the country party of the Federation of Ille-et-Vilaine National Rally.

"My friend Gilles Pennelle"

"First of all to come and see my friend Gilles Pennelle and also bring dynamism, although it does not lack, to the federation of Ille-et-Vilaine, on the eve of the European elections and in the front- municipal watch , " said the former lawyer.

Polls in which the National Gathering intends to be very present, especially during the municipal elections of 2020.

"Reaching out to local elected officials"

"For many years, we have been in a strong dynamic of progression in territories that were not initially very favorable to the National Gathering and we will continue this progression," says Gilles Pennelle, President of the RN group at regional Council.

With the same strategy as that put for the municipal elections of 2014? "We will adopt a slightly different strategy, targeting more municipalities that are favorable to our movement to have the largest number of elected officials," explains Gilles Pennelle. And above all, we will reach out to local politicians who belong to political families close to us and who, given the current political recomposition, want to go a long way with us. And to say: "I think it will probably be the big surprise of the municipal. "

Rennes, Saint-Malo, Fougeres, Vitré, Redon

The Breton patron of the RN does not give names but already announces the cities he has in the sights: "We will be present in Rennes, Saint-Malo, Fougères, Vitré, Redon and also in many small towns where mayors are discouraged and abandoned by political power. Our friends must therefore launch to defend the communal power and the identity of our communes. "

Territories and insecurity

The stakes of future debates? "One of the main will be the territorial divide that is taking place between the metropolis of Rennes which captures all the public subsidies and wealth and a peri-urban and rural territory which seems abandoned with mayors who see their endowments always decrease even more. . "

Another challenge to the National Rally: security with, especially in Rennes, the problem of isolated foreign minors. "Nathalie Appéré, the mayor of Rennes, discovers that the water is wet! She favored the arrival of these isolated miners and today, as the vase overflows, she pretends to be worried about this problem. We have been alert for a long time on the disturbing rise of this violence. Today, Mrs. Appéré wants to play firefighters, but she is the arsonist. "
