The leader of the Republicans Christian Jacob called to order on Sunday evening "the management team" of the party after strong remarks from the number 2 Guillaume Peltier on justice and the regions, calling for "collective play".
"The time is not for taking personal positions that harm everyone but for mobilizing behind our candidates", responded in the evening Christian Jacob.
"At a time when LR is leading the opinion polls, I invite the management team to be in full support behind our lists. The only priority: to play together," he added.
A "judicious and welcome call to order", said the deputy of Hauts-de-Seine Constance Le Grip, deploring a "Lépine competition of proposals and personal postures".
Sunday on RTL, Guillaume Peltier reiterated his opposition to the "republican front" and in matters of terrorism he had requested "the reestablishment of the Security Court" which "on a case by case basis could place in security detention", all without call.
"If the Constitutional Council opposes it, we can propose that by referendum to the French people, to protect the French," he added.

The LR deputy of Yonne Guillaume Larrivé quickly distanced himself from these remarks, stressing that "the possibility of appealing, in criminal matters, is neither an old age nor a fad of wicked leftist-lax, but a progress to which there is no question of giving up in a civilized state ".
"The loopholes (economic or legal ...) proposed in a personal capacity by such and such + manager + of the direction obviously do not engage the party", added in a tweet Mr. Larrivé, specialist in sovereign issues, and who had ran for LR presidency in 2019.
