Aurélien Pradié counter-attacks. The deputy of Lot, dismissed from his position as number 2 of the Les Républicains party, denounced in a press release, Sunday, February 19, a decision “contrary to the requirement of gathering and respect for all members”. He said he would stay “faithful” to his party. Ousted on Saturday by President Eric Ciotti after having repeatedly expressed positions against the current of his party on the pension reform, the deputy of Lot assured to prefer his “freedom of belief in any position”.

“The decision announced by a laconic press release from the President of the Republicans is contrary to the requirement of the rally and the respect of all our members”, he wrote again, specifying that he “remains and will always remain faithful to (his) political family”. Maintaining an intransigent line, in particular on the consideration of long careers, Aurélien Pradié threatened not to vote for the reform under consideration in the Assembly, even though the management of LR seemed to have reached an agreement with the government.

“I will always refuse that the right gradually becomes the conciliatory crutch of macronie.”
