in Hauts-de-Seine, agreements reached between LR candidates and Macronists, including Gabriel Attal

These agreements are valid in this department of Ile-de-France, but at the national level, the Les Républicains party “does not [les] will not follow”, affirmed François-Xavier Bellamy, claiming his “independence and opposition to the current majority”.

A non-aggression pact. Several Macronist candidates, including Gabriel Attal, agreed with LR candidates not to run against each other for the legislative elections in Hauts-de-Seine. “We have decided, to block the extremes of the right and the left, to create a republican arc in our department of Hauts-de-Seine which links ‘Together for the Republic’, the Republicans 92 and the president of the department”according to a press release published Friday June 14 by the Modem federation of the department on X.

Among these signatories, we find Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, the president of the LR federation of the department, Philippe Juvin, the president of the UDI Hervé Marseille, the departmental managers of Modem Isabelle Florennes and Horizons Isabelle de Crécy, as well as the president of the department Georges Siffredi, who resigned from LR after Eric Ciotti’s call to ally himself with the National Rally.

“There are, at the local level, local elected officials who meet”argued Gabriel Attal, who is running again in the 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine, on the sidelines of a trip near Nantes. “I know that around my candidacy for the legislative elections, I have both elected or former elected officials from the socialist left who support me, as well as elected or former elected LR representatives who support me”he insisted, believing that “this is also what is happening in many territories”.

The signatories provide their support without presenting competing candidates to three LRs: Philippe Juvin, who is running in the 3rd constituency; Thomas Lam, departmental councilor (2nd district), and Jean-Didier Berger, mayor of Clamart (12th district).

But at the national level, the Les Républicains party “will not follow this ‘agreement'” of Hauts-de-Seine. “Our line remains the same: independence and opposition to the current majority”reacted to AFP François-Xavier Bellamy, who took the leadership of the right-wing party, after the exclusion of Eric Ciotti for his call to ally with the extreme right.
