The statement we reproduce reports on the situation of the political movement founded by Jacques Peyrat and which gathers his loyal supporters.
After the exodus of almost all deputies and elected advisors who moved under the banners of the municipal majority (Nice Ensemble) in exchange for some minor benefits, here is the leadership that is leaving the ship for other destinations.
A little patience and we will know more… but the clues are telling!
It is known that the former Mayor of Nice is considering running for the supreme local magistracy in 2014.
A step too far? Even if the language of the statement is far from clear, it is probably what his former collaborators think who, it can be predicted, should join the FN where the young spokesperson Gaël Nofri shows activism and, despite his young age, does not seem to be short on ambition.
We part ways today with the Republican Agreement because we disagree with Jacques Peyrat’s solitary political strategy.
Members of the National Front for more than 20 years, we believe that the necessary conditions for the gathering in view of the 2014 municipal elections, which we all hoped for, are no longer met. What the people of Nice want for their future is a new, young list that breaks with current political practices.
This is the fight we intend to fully participate in.
Catherine Garcia (general secretary), Gérard César (head of militant action) and Fernand Garcia (treasurer) of the Republican Agreement.
This statement was followed by a clarification from Jacques Peyrat, which we publish in full:
Our Party has not received any resignation other than that of Mr. Gérard CESAR.
In reality, it is the Executive Board of the Republican Agreement of Nice that decided, on October 11th last, in light of the legitimate choices no doubt of the GARCIA, Father and Daughter, to remove their functions as Treasurer and General Secretary. The latter position has been entrusted to Mrs. Hélène GARBOUL-HAMELET.
Indeed, the Party of the Republican Agreement of Nice, which aims to be a Gathering Party in preparation for the upcoming municipal elections, does not intend to become a mere branch of the NATIONAL FRONT, even if alliances can be considered, as was the case in the past.
