After Sébastien Pacull (various right), ex-boss LR of Hérault, who unveiled a list of "union of the rights" in Sète, and after seven LR militants joined the list of RN in Lunel, here is that in Nîmes, an elected official of the traditional right also rallies the far right, in view of the municipal elections: Christophe Rolland (various right), ex-elected LR in the capital of the Gard, is behind the candidacy of Yoann Gillet ( RN).

"When you are a defector, do you betray? I don't think so, says Christophe Rolland to France Bleu Gard Lozère. When you are a defector, you are looking elsewhere for something that seems more suitable to you. It is not done without sacrifice. "

His delegations have been withdrawn

For his part, Jean-Paul Fournier (LR), the mayor of Nîmes, candidate for his succession, is not surprised by this rallying. Christophe Rolland was his assistant for secularism, crime prevention, educational success, accessibility and disability.

On January 15, “Jean-Paul Fournier informed Christophe Rolland (…) that he would not be a candidate for the Choose Nîmes list, said the city of Nîmes, in a press release. This is why the announcement of his joining the list led by Yoann Gillet, does not surprise the municipal majority. In fact, and in total respect with his commitment to refuse any link with the National Rally, Jean-Paul Fournier took a decree to record the withdrawal of all the delegations of [Christophe] Rolland.
