"What is at stake in March is the survival of the right in Paris", summed up to 20 Minutes, Agnès Evren, Member of the European Parliament, president of the Federation LR of Paris and engaged in the campaign of the candidate Rachida Dati.

This Tuesday, the National Investiture Commission (CNI) of the Republicans invested Agnès Evren, president of the federation LR, head of the list in the 15th arrondissement.

On January 15, Les Républicains had designated a series of candidates for the municipal elections in March, notably in Paris, but had postponed their decision for the 15th arrondissement by one week. "It was not quite ready, we preferred to postpone it for a week," said Christian Jacob, confident: "We will get there." This district has become the object of a showdown between the outgoing LR mayor Philippe Goujon.

"I will support the candidate best placed to change mayor and political line," he says for weeks, with the aim of "gathering". But "it would be incredible" to have to face an LR candidate, he said.

Note that Rachida Dati's campaign director, Nelly Garnier, will lead the LR list in the 11th district where Anne Hidalgo is present, in second position on the Paris en Commun list.
