Marie-Christine Arnautu to be excluded from the National Front? She, who was the 2014 candidate for the mayor of Nice and is currently a municipal councilor in Nice and a metropolitan councilor, risks being a victim of the “struggle” between former “frontists” and the new “Marinists”.
A virulent opponent of Christian Estrosi and the target of ungentlemanly remarks from the senior official during public meetings, the European deputy has lost many members of her group along the way, who have either shifted allegiance or organized independently.
The sanction has been delivered. This Monday, the political office of the National Front adopted a motion asking Marie-Christine Arnautu (and Bruno Gollnisch) to leave their positions in the executive office and the political office.
This internal sanction risks weakening her in her role, with the risk of detrimental isolation preventing her from fulfilling the role that should be hers.
They are being reproached for having attended, on Sunday, the gathering of Jean-Marie Le Pen for May 1st.
Marine Le Pen’s right-hand man, Florian Philippot, had warned that the possible presence of National Front leaders at Jean-Marie Le Pen’s dissident gathering would have consequences.
Marie-Christine Arnautu reiterated that she “would not resign.” “They will have to exclude me,” she declared, adding: “It’s going to be a whole disciplinary procedure like with Jean-Marie Le Pen.” “It’s a pretext because perhaps I take positions that disturb,” she denounced.
