Its candidate Valérie Pécresse is now in the crosshairs of Nicolas Sarkozy and relatives of the former French president.
After the defection of the very Sarkozyist former minister Éric Woerth, who went to Macron, the murderous little sentences whispered by the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy weaken the candidate LR.
This was already the case yesterday morning in
Le Figaro
...
… continuation of the soap opera this morning in Le Parisien
This newspaper tells that in private, Nicolas Sarkozy says that Valérie Pécresse has “
no ideas
”, adding his astonishment on the choice of the room of the Zenith of Paris, this Sunday, for the big meeting of the candidate.
“
She takes no risk by doing this in Île-de-France!
Anyone can fill a room of 6,000 people under these conditions.
She should have gone to Marseille, or to Lille like Zemmour
”.
Also in
Le Parisien
, someone close to the former right-wing president points out that “
the very fact that Sarkozy has not yet spoken publicly (Editor’s note: to support her) is already a disavowal for Valérie.
It is clear that this candidacy is not self-evident for him.
To sum up: he finds it useless
”.
As for the campaign director of Vélérie Pécresse, Patrick Stefanini, Nicolas Sarkozy finds him "
very bad
", reports
Le Parisien
again .
Valérie Pécresse “
on the tightrope
”, launches
La Croix
in One .
According to the Catholic daily, the candidate LR plays nothing less than "
the survival of the right
"!
The opportunity for
L'Humanité
to drive the point home by mocking the "
candidate of the rich and very rich candidate
", a non-exhaustive inventory of her heritage in support,
L'Huma
thus recalling that Valérie Pécresse has two "
beautiful villas
" in La Baule, (pleasant seaside resort in the west of France), plus one in Versailles "
near the castle
".
A discord that suits Emmanuel Macron. The French president has still not announced his candidacy. And the French disapprove of this attitude
According to an Odoxa poll for
Le Figaro
, 68% of French people believe that Emmanuel Macron "
must declare his candidacy now
".
And if 43% want him “to
be a candidate
”, 56% do not want it.
71% of French people criticize the president for “
running an unofficial campaign for his re-election, using state resources, 29% thinking the opposite.
And 80% believe that, if he is a candidate
, he "
must participate in debates with the other candidates before the first round
" of the presidential election.
And meanwhile, “
public money is flowing through the fingers of Emmanuel Macron;
the promises, the big plans, the investments are picked up by the backhoe;
the disorders of the world like the upheavals of the epidemic are entirely recycled for an electoral purpose
”, exclaims
Le Figaro
.
These details, finally, on the shareholding of Zoï, the start-up specializing in online health that has just been created by the former adviser to President Macron Ismaël Emelien
His name is Jean-Claude Marian, he is the "
founder
" of Orpéa, this group in turmoil following the publication of a shocking book on the alleged mistreatment widely practiced in retirement homes that he manages.
The daily
Liberation
reports that Jean-Claude Marian is "
the second largest investor
" in
Zoï
, a company recently created by Ismaël Emelien.
This newspaper also reports that the "
financier
" in charge of the first "
and very discreet
" subscription for
Zoï
's shares is Christian Dargnat, "
conductor of candidate Macron's fundraising in 2017 with the great fortunes
".
Quoting a host of famous names present at the round table of Ismaël Emelien's start-up,
Libé
evokes "
beautiful people, who often do business with the State
" and points out that "
the unease is palpable in the first circle of LREM and up to the Elysée
“about this affair.
