The Retailleau-Wauquiez Match Seen by the LR Members of the Doubs: "We Have the Ass Between Two Chairs"

Sensitive to the arguments of the LR MPs' boss on his greatest freedom of speech outside the government, the party's members are pleased, at the same time, to see them take responsibility.

While this weekend the Republicans' members are called upon to elect their next president at the head of the party, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Wauquiez wanted to clarify their position on several issues such as immigration or the RSA.

The LR activists have 24 hours to vote via the Internet. The results will be announced on Sunday evening by the secretary general of the party Annie Genevard, also Minister of Agriculture, at the Paris headquarters of the Republicans. The outcome of the election is not sealed: from 43.859 to 43.859.

On the eve of the election of the new president of the Republicans between Laurent Wauquiez and Bruno Retailleau, Rafael Amselem is concerned about the risk of a drift of the party. Far from the liberalism which the candidates claim to be, they would both, in his opinion, be under the influence of illiberal thoughts.

The two candidates for the Republican presidency, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Wauquiez, are separated by the party's members on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May. Would their positioning respond to a form of "trumpism" present in the French electorate?
