Christian Estrosi and the local federation of The Republicans have a new headquarters in the city center.
In front of a good hundred elected officials and supporters, it was inaugurated in the presence of François Baroin, who was on an electoral tour in the department.
The new idol of the “sarkozye,” he has been inducted ahead of time as the future Prime Minister under the future new President of the Republic.
More subtly by Christian Estrosi, who dubbed him the “hope of the future,” and more imperatively by Eric Ciotti, who presented the Fillon-Baroin ticket as a given, François Baroin clearly appears as the new point of reference for the local republican right, left orphaned by its beacon Nicolas Sarkozy, who stepped back after the unexpected debacle in the LR primary.
He stepped back but did not distance himself because the hand of the former President of the Republic can be seen in maintaining François Fillon’s candidacy, despite his judicial difficulties linked to the cases that led to his indictment.
Moreover, to better understand, it suffices to analyze Christian Estrosi’s position, who in temporal succession, demanded Fillon’s departure and replacement, announced a solution for a “respectful exit,” remained silent for a few days, and expressed on this occasion his complete loyalty!
Even the least informed observer could find in this U-turn the sign of a “cordial agreement” finalized for future power management.
Moreover, since the day at Trocadero, the Sarkozy supporters have rejoined François Fillon’s campaign team with honors.
The final sprint for the first round on April 23 is now underway.
