Valérie Pécresse and Pierre Liscia in the 18th arrondissement, this Wednesday - R.LESCURIEUX / 20Minutes

  • Valérie Pécresse came to support this Wednesday the candidate of her movement (Libres!) In the 18th arrondissement.
  • Despite many discussions, she continues to reach out to Rachida Dati (LR).
  • For the first time, Rachida Dati, LR candidate in the municipal elections in Paris, walks past the socialist Anne Hidalgo, according to a poll published this Wednesday.

She gets out of a car and rushes into the Le Cardinal brewery located at the end of rue Ordener, in the 18th arrondissement. There, the leader of his movement (Libres!) And candidate for this district in the north of the capital, Pierre Liscia (ex-LR), and his supporters await him, all smiles. It is the first trip to the field of the president of the Ile-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, as part of the municipal battle in Paris.

On the program for a brief, very right-wing exchange: insecurity in the neighborhood, prostitution, drug addiction, street harassment, street vending, the migration crisis, lack of social mix. “There is an abandonment of the neighborhood. Ms. Hidalgo looks away, "she said during this strategic move to this bastion of the left, often described as imperceptible. But where a scattered puzzle-like right still tries to prevail. "We cannot always continue to give the keys to the same people," believes Pierre Liscia.

"I wish the victory of Rachida Dati"

“I support the right people in the right place. Pierre Liscia is a whistleblower. It is he who must be mayor of the district. He is a dangerous candidate for Anne Hidalgo in the 18th arrondissement because he has solutions, ”explains Valérie Pécresse. His movement "Free! Has a few candidates in the capital. Some have obtained the LR stamp but not Pierre Liscia who will therefore have to face in the sector the "official" candidate of the right, Rudolph Granier.

Valérie Pécresse who has extended her hand to Rachida Dati many times regrets that the candidate LR "did not want a global agreement to have common candidates in the first round". Despite everything, she continues to reach out to him. "We have until February 27 [deadline for filing lists] to conclude an agreement." While trusting Pierre Liscia, "who will fill up on voices", she hammers her will to see Rachida Dati win at the finish.

"I wish the victory of Rachida Dati at the central town hall," she said. A recent poll published this Wednesday by the Odoxa institute carried out for CGI and Le Figaro, places for the first time the candidate LR in the lead in the first round of the municipal elections, ahead of the outgoing mayor Anne Hidalgo.
