“Édouard Philippe can be the solution of an organization of the presidential majority more powerful”, estimates Jean-Pierre Raffarin

Monday evening November 8, the five LR candidates will debate. “In the polls, Xavier Bertrand is the best placed”, explains Jean-Pierre Raffarin, guest of the “4 Vérités” of France 2, Monday 8 November. In his book “Choosing a Chef”, the former Prime Minister seems to prefer Valérie Pécresse instead. “She is someone who has succeeded in all the positions she has held so far. She is someone who has the capacity to exercise responsibility.”, he specifies, while saying to himself “against this logic of primary”. Jean-Pierre Raffarin will not take part in the ballot, as he is no longer an LR member.

Is the right leaving too late? “I think they are very late. This schedule is too late”, castigates the former Prime Minister. What to think of Eric Zemmour, who is rising in the polls? “He is a suitable leader. There is a certain collapse of Madame Le Pen, he takes this place. Will it last? All of this is uncertain”, says Jean-Pierre Raffarin.

What to think of the position of the President of the Republic? “We can clearly see today that Macron has a strong leadership but a weak apparatus. Perhaps Édouard Philippe can be the solution for him to organize a more powerful presidential majority, because we have to win the legislative elections. “, concludes the former Prime Minister.
