Hurry to declare
“I do not want the (presidential) debate to be skipped over, so that is why I would like the president to be able to declare his candidacy quickly because it is from the quality of the debate that the legitimacy of the election will come. election,” he warned.
"I will support the efforts of my friend Édouard Philippe, in whom I have full confidence to build what my political family has always been, that is to say a new center right", added Jean-Pierre Raffarin, who wishes "to ensure that we enlarge the majority of Emmanuel Macron".
"Kind of new UDF"
“It is not because we support Macron that we have become socialists”, he specified, seeing rather in the movement of Edouard Philippe, Horizons, “a return to a kind of new UDF”.

The support of the former Prime Minister was immediately welcomed on Twitter by the Deputy President of the LREM Group at the National Assembly Aurore Bergé, who said she was "very happy to find Jean Pierre Raffarin by our side in this presidential campaign". .
