“I have no vocation to be a professional rebellious”, affirms Aurélien Pradié after his ousting from the post of number 2

“I will not respond to division by division”, assures Aurélien Pradié at the microphone of franceinfo, a week after his ousting from the position of number 2 of the Republicans. The deputy of the 1st constituency of Lot ensures that he will not leave the party and that he will not form a dissident group in the National Assembly. “I have no vocation to be a professional rebellious, I have a vocation to say what I believe is good to rebuild my political family”he says.

The deputy of Lot broke the silence during a trip to Bordeaux, to meet students from Science Po.“All this forges me to carry this right in which I believe”continues the deputy, who strongly criticized the pension reform during the debates in the National Assembly, despite the agreement between his party and the government.

“When, in a political family, we come to exclude each other because the ideas they carry are not exactly those we have, we contribute to division”assures the deputy of Lot, who qualifies the division of “poison”.

Aurélien Pradié never quotes Eric Ciotti, the president of the LR, who announced the ousting of the deputy in a press release, without warning the principal concerned. “It was a painful moment, the way it was done was not pleasant or respectful”, says Aurélien Pradié.
