Sunday in politics: “I am not a candidate for the presidency of LR”, declares the interim president of the Republicans, Annie Genevard

Annie Genevard, deputy of Doubs and interim president of the Republicans, is the guest Sunday, September 11 of Francis Letellier in “Sunday in politics”. She first described the Queen of England, who died on September 8, as “exceptional woman” and of “respected sovereign“, who has “guaranteed the cement of the nation“. On the issue of energy sobriety, while the French are seeing prices rise, Annie Genevard deplores “the insurrectionary attitude” by Fabien Roussel during the Festival of Humanity. “We are all impacted by an energy crisis which is largely the result of an aberrant policy, which has jeopardized what was the flagship of French energy, of energy sovereignty, which is the nuclear sector“, she comments.

Regarding the purchasing power law, voted with the Republicans, “it is our text that we approved, in part“, welcomes Annie Genevard. While Bruno Le Maire wishes to extend the tariff shield on gas and electricity, the deputy of Doubs judges the measure “inevitable“. She believes, however, that it is necessary “another energy policy“, which goes through “relaunch the nuclear sector without delay“.

Furthermore, Annie Genevard wishes “lower the cost of labor“. On the other hand, there is no question of imposing a tax on superprofits. “In general, Republicans do not share the French reflex which is to say: ‘a problem, a tax'”, she justifies. “A contribution is preferable to tax“, she notes.

On the future of the right, Annie Genevard recalls that a “internal election is always a perilous period”especially since the party is “weakened by the presidential failure“. “I am not a candidate for the presidency of LR“, she assures, stressing that as an arbitrator, a candidacy “would add confusion”.
