Newly elected head of Les Républicains, Christian Jacob has developed the party’s new organizational chart.
In this organization — seemingly overstaffed at first glance but which must consider internal balances — the deputy from Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Ciotti, who is eyeing the mayoralty of Nice like the incumbent Christian Estrosi, retains the strategic National Nomination Commission.
Will he run himself against his rival, who would then have to run under the banner of a civic list with the probable risk that LR could lose the city hall of the 5th largest city in France?
The mayor of Antibes, Jean Leonetti, who had been acting as the interim head of LR since the resignation of Laurent Wauquiez in June, is assigned a “prefiguration mission” for a foundation intended to become a think tank.
