There was no easier prediction: as expected, the LREM candidate Sophie Cluzel threw in the towel before starting the fight.
“I am supporting the list led by Renaud Muselier,” wrote the Secretary of State for People with Disabilities in a statement released late yesterday afternoon. The outgoing LR president of the Region had included some La République En Marche members on his lists submitted this Wednesday.
While there were no surprises, it must be said that it was time for this saga (a psychodrama or a skit depending on one’s viewpoint) to end. “He was able to listen to our concerns and build a united list, focused on regional competencies where our values are represented,” explained Sophie Cluzel, who must be relieved to end a decidedly laborious electoral campaign for her, marked within a few weeks by two entries and two exits.
Opportunity makes the thief, as the popular saying goes
And so Eric Ciotti took up the bazooka and fired a rocket: “The trap is closing. The Ascension holiday weekend won’t hide the reality of an unnatural alliance prepared by the Élysée. A betrayal of our family and the sacrifice of our region for the political ambitions of a few.”
He concluded in his usual solemn tone: “Renaud Muselier becomes the candidate of En Marche.”
After requesting that the LR support for his candidacy be withdrawn, should we think he will ask for his exclusion from the party?
