“Xavier Bertrand has proven in his region that he is capable of causing the National Rally to regress”estimated, Sunday February 4, on franceinfo one of his supporters, the LR regional councilor of Hauts-de-France and former deputy for the North, Sébastien Huyghe, while the president of the Hauts-de-France region announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, Saturday evening, in the newspaper Ouest-France.
“Xavier Bertrand has never hidden his presidential ambitions. He has continued to work since the right-wing primary for 2022”reacted Sébastien Huyghe. “It’s quite logical that he intends to run for president.” “He demonstrated at the head of the Hauts-de-France region that he was capable of pushing back the National Rally. Between the 2016 election and the 2021 election, the National Rally declined by 15%”he said.
“He embodies the popular right. Unfortunately, the Republicans have distanced themselves a little from this electorate”continued the regional advisor. “He has always maintained this contact with the voters of the popular right who made the right’s heyday.” “In the polls, he is at the head of the personalities of the Republican right who have the confidence of the French. Xavier Bertrand is the only one to take matters in hand.”
