Christian Jacob, boss of the Republicans, goes to the Var on Saturday for a campaign meeting alongside Renaud Muselier, candidate in PACA.
The atmosphere is forgiven for offenses after the agreement with the LREM list, which the party leader had not really tasted.
"You don't have to be moody and campaign hard."
This is the message that Christian Jacob wants to convey by going to support his friend Renaud Muselier during a campaign meeting in Saint-Raphaël on Saturday.
The atmosphere is forgiven for offenses, even if the president of the party has not really tasted the agreement of the candidate LR in the regional election of PACA with La République en Marche.
An alliance that had caused a lot of unrest among The Republicans and propelled the RN candidate Thierry Mariani, ex LR, to the top of the polls.
"We have to keep Paca"
But for Christian Jacob, showing off with Renaud Muselier despite everything is also a way of reminding everyone to reason.
In its ranks, Guillaume Peltier or Eric Ciotti advocate the blank vote.
Without forgetting those elected officials or activists from the south who are on strike in the countryside.
"We must keep Paca, and that it does not switch especially to the Front (national, now RN, nldr)", insists a close friend of Christian Jacob.

At LR, some fear that Emmanuel Macron wins every time in this southern psychodrama. "If Mariani wins, he will say that it is our fault because we did not really support him, but if Muselier wins he will say that it is thanks to the contribution of En Marche", laments a leader. In short, a new illustration of LR cornered by the head of state.
