The Republicans were campaigning for the European elections this Wednesday morning near Lyon. A trip during which the head of the party list, François-Xavier Bellamy, was warmly supported by the president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The two men have their destinies linked, because the future of Laurent Wauquiez will depend on the success of the European campaign. Behind this support also lies the hope of being able to rely on a party in working order to prepare for 2027.
