His choice is now confirmed.
Christian Estrosi will provide support "without the slightest ambiguity" but "not unconditional" to Emmanuel Macron "if he is a candidate" in the presidential election, he announced this Wednesday on BFMTV and RMC.
"I am a Gaullist, I come from a lineage of the right and the center wanted by Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and today it is [Emmanuel Macron] who best embodies this lineage, if only in the reforms that have been made, ”said the mayor of Nice who left Les Républicains in May.
"To make this voice heard"
"The great ideas that we have carried behind great personalities, Pompidou, Chirac, Giscard d'Estaing, Raymond Barre, Nicolas Sarkozy and others, I want to say to all these voters who may feel orphans that we will continue to bring these ideas and that naturally the support that I will give, if he is a candidate, to Macron is not unconditional but it is to make this voice heard, ”he said.
Last week, in Nice, in front of members of his movement La France Audacieuse, the former minister of the right-wing governments of Villepin and Fillon said he was "relieved" to have "taken [his] freedom" and had widely criticized the process for appointing the Republicans' future presidential candidate.
"How could they decide at 23,000 how the right could be represented?
", He wondered, adding:" it is not even a bankruptcy or bankruptcy, no it is a liquidation ".
