Deputies LR Guillaume Larrivé and Julien Aubert, both candidates for the presidency of their party, defended Monday evening a firm line on issues of immigration and procreation medically assisted (PMA) including, in the absence of the favorite Christian Jacob . Five days before the election of the future President of the Republicans on Sunday, the only debate between the candidates was organized in a school in Vanves (Hauts-de-Seine). The third candidate, Christian Jacob, was absent, preferring not to scrape in public with members of his own political family.
"2022 must be our collective obsession"
At the beginning Vaucluse deputy Julien Aubert was annoyed by the idea "that the election is folded" in favor of the patron of the deputies LR and distanced himself from "the mantra of the rally" advocated by Christian Jacob. Positioning himself on "a patriotic but not nationalist line", "republican, social, Gaullist", he returned to the recent electoral failures of LR (8.48% in the European countries): "we have sinned out of laziness" because "we we thought we had the monopoly of our constituents. "
"We are the Republicans, not a small party of protest," said Guillaume Larrivé, saying that "2022 must be our collective obsession." He defended his vision of "party of free France" to "build the popular movement of the post-Macron". "If I am elected, I will appoint Julien Vice President because it will necessarily join our forces," added the MP for Yonne, while the two candidates have agreed on a firm message on many points.
"Too soft knee" on issues of Islamism
On the PMA "we must set a limit and not wake up in a few haggard years in a transhumanistic world where we would create babies on order and almost tailor-made," warned Guillaume Larrivé. For Julien Aubert, "the real subject is to know if the right is ready to return to the filiation aspect of the Taubira law".
A few hours after the debate in parliament on immigration, Julien Aubert proposed "a blockade of the Navy" to the arrivals, while Guillaume Larrivé called to "regain control". "We are far too soft knee" on issues of Islamism, he said.
Finally on the environment, third theme of the debate, Julien Aubert mocked Greta Thunberg "the prophetess" and "millenarian ecologists", while Guillaume Larrivé, "pro-nuclear" claimed, denounced a "collapsing speech" and "delirium from the extreme left "on ecologist subjects.
