former hostage-taker, under guardianship… these RN candidates are “curiosities” who “cheat”, according to Louis Aliot

“Some people don’t tell you if they had a criminal record. [judiciaire]when they are asked. If they lied, they will be removed,” said the RN mayor of Perpignan, Wednesday on franceinfo.

“This is one of the few curiosities that can be found in the group of candidates in these legislative elections.”. Guest on franceinfo on Wednesday July 3, Louis Aliot, first vice-president of the National Rally (RN), reacts to the profile of some of his party’s candidates in the second round. In the first constituency of Jura, Thierry Mosca is under guardianship, therefore ineligible. In the third constituency of Mayenne, Annie Bell was convicted of hostage-taking. Examples among others.

Regarding Thierry Mosca, “The problem is that if it is registered, you cannot unregister it,” Louis Aliot points out. “If he is elected, there will be another election, I suppose.”adds the mayor of Perpignan. To defend his party, he maintains that“we don’t ask you if you are or not” under guardianship at the time of registering a candidacy for the elections, and that “It’s not easy to know.”

As for Annie Bell, “I am not aware”, Louis Aliot concedes. Yes, he knows “some candidates”but “Not all of them.” “Some don’t tell you if they had a criminal record. [judiciaire]when they are asked. If they lied, they will be dismissed”he assures. In the case of the former hostage-taker, “there is no criminal record”assured the RN delegate in Mayenne to the AFP.

Louis Aliot is convinced that all this will not cost the party with the flame any votes. For the former chief of staff of Jean-Marie Le Pen, “People are well aware of how difficult it is to hold this election. There are always some candidates who cheat.” “Everyone has this kind of problem”he says.
