The soap opera continues.

The number 2 of LR, Guillaume Peltier, asked Friday "on a personal basis" for the withdrawal of his party's support for Renaud Muselier who intends to integrate members of LREM to his list for the regional ones in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur .

"The comedy of little tricks, that's enough", denounced Guillaume Peltier on BFMTV and RMC after the announcement Thursday by Secretary of State Sophie Cluzel that she would finally not present a list of the majority and that she brought her support for the LR Renaud Muselier list for the ballot on June 20 and 27.

"Given the absence of an En Marche list, therefore this recreated ambiguity and this trap into which Renaud Muselier fell, personally, it is out of the question that I support any list closely linked or far to Emmanuel Macron, ”added the deputy vice-president of LR, who specifies that his party will vote on the subject on Tuesday.

"Watertight border"

"There is a tight border between the Republicans, between the French right and Macronism, there is a right which is not for sale, there is a right which considers that Emmanuel Macron has failed in his functions", added the deputy of Loir-et-Cher, engaged in his youth in the National Front, who would vote "white" if he were a voter in Paca.

The outgoing president of the Paca region, in search of the best formula to beat the National Assembly given in the lead in the first round according to several polls, must unveil his head of lists this Friday. The regional in this region are the subject of a political standoff around an alliance between LREM and LR, feared by the LR apparatus which denounces an opportunistic maneuver aimed at weakening it, in particular in view of the presidential election of 2022.

The boss of senators LR Bruno Retailleau and the LR deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes Eric Ciotti had already asked their party on Wednesday to withdraw its support for Renaud Muselier.

"From the moment when the Republic on the march, gives its support to Renaud Muselier, it is therefore the Republic on the march and the Republicans think the same thing", commented for his part the spokesperson of the RN Sébastien Chenu, on Cnews.
