In a column written this Thursday for Atlantico and entitled “Legislative 2022: for unambiguous LR candidates”, Bernard Carayon attacks the balance sheet of Emmanuel Macron, whom he does not doubt will be re-elected on April 24: he promises him to elsewhere a “case of an excellent Gaillac” if he is beaten. The Tarnais castigates in advance his comrades of the Republicans, called to fill the hemicycle next June, who would be tempted by an ideological rapprochement with the camp of the outgoing president.
A sworn commitment not to ally with LREM
The mayor of Lavaur for 27 years first explains, about the presidential election, how much the republican front against the candidate of the National Rally repugnant to him and how much Emmanuel Macron destroyed what was dear to him. Denouncing the “single party embodying (…) the monopoly, in short, of morality and aesthetics“that the president-candidate would have created by bringing together elected officials from all sides, Bernard Carayon announces that he will vote blank,”I am not fooled: manage yourself the dramas of which you are the cause”.
The former parliamentarian from 1993 to 1997 then from 2002 to 2012, whose son Guilhem will be a candidate in June in the third constituency of the Tarn, does not spare his remarks for his political formation in terms of his positions on immigration, the economy or Europe.
For many years, the right has no longer been the right, and I know very well that despite efforts and sometimes tricks, it has been going on for a long time: I do not have the pen cruel enough to enter into the details.
Present at the political office of the Republicans in Paris on Monday April 11, Bernard Carayon, known to be part of the conservative fringe of the LRs and who supported Michel Barnier in the primary, asks his party not to support “those who will betray us tomorrow“and proposes to have the candidates sign”a commitment on honor to refuse (…) any allegiance to a Macronist parliamentary majority“, including a budget vote.
