The young Côte d’Azur elected official will be the “Les Républicains” candidate in the upcoming legislative election, where she is the clear favorite. Finally, a breath of youth on the benches of the Palais Bourbon…
Christian Estrosi: Congratulations to @marinebrenier, unanimously endorsed by the national committee @lesRepublicains for the by-election #circo0605
Marine Brenier: Thank you @cestrosi for your trust in this constituency that you know so well. Proud to represent @lesRepublicains in this election
Eric Ciotti: Congratulations to @marinebrenier, endorsed by @lesRepublicains for the by-elections #circo0605, to whom I give my full support
These three tweets are broadly comprehensive of the decision of the “Les Républicains” Endorsement Commission, which chose the young woman from Nice as the candidate to succeed Christian Estrosi in the National Assembly.
That same Estrosi, who is the political mentor of Marine Brenier, proposed her and kept a close watch as the president of the said commission.
The news has been circulating for some time and in the end is anything but a surprise: our article of January 21 already mentioned this prediction:
“a candidacy is emerging on the horizon: that of Marine Brenier, the young legal expert from Nice, who has more than one qualification and talent to aspire to it, if not deserve it. As the national president of the Jeunes Républicains (and from the Alpes-Maritimes), she represents the new political class, an expression of renewal that parties increasingly need to face future challenges.”
Marine Brenier is largely favored for this election, and the other candidates will only be able to play supporting roles: while in the urban part of the constituency, they might have a chance to make a mark at the polls, the hinterland is so locked down by the network of village mayors that they may avoid organizing unproductive excursions and thereby limit campaign expenses.
