Bruno Retailleau pleads for a right freed from political correctness

Bruno Retailleau got the ball rolling this Saturday morning.

A dynamic performance for the Vendéen who has undertaken a duty to inventory the years of the right in power.

The boss of the LR senators claims renewal through ideas and pleads for this for a right assumed and freed from political correctness.

"We were afraid of well-meaning, afraid of political correctness, finally afraid of not corresponding to the criteria of respectability which are often set by the hegemony of the left and sometimes even of the far left. Well I refuse intimidation from the left," he said.

Aurélien Pradié, a more popular and social line

Aurélien Pradié succeeded him with the desire to appear as a candidate connected to the field.

The MP for Lot sees the victories of the right in 1995 and 2007 as proof that his more popular, more social line is the most relevant.

"The right spoke as much to the garbage collectors of Paris as to the peasants of Corrèze and to the bosses of the CAC40. Let's remember 2007. Let's remember this electoral campaign during which the right was what it always been, popular!"

he launched.

Eric Ciotti, favorite figure

At the applause meter, no candidate stands out for the moment.

In a few minutes, Eric Ciotti will speak and perhaps win, he who is the favorite for the moment.

There will then be a week left for the three candidates to try to make the difference to win the party presidency.
