Christian Estrosi was the guest of the “4 Vérités” of France 2, Wednesday, November 24, to mention in particular the new party of Édouard Philippe, and the support of Renaud Muselier to Xavier Bertrand, rejected by the latter.

In an interview with Figaro, published Wednesday, November 24, Édouard Philippe assured that memberships to his new party, Horizons, continue to climb. Coming from the same political lineage, Christian Estrosi will soon receive the former Prime Minister to consider the future. “I have a great proximity with him, we have to defend our common heritage alongside Emmanuel Macron. We will see how, but Edouard Philippe provides an answer so that the Gaullist right can organize itself in a form other than that which is offered to us today “, estimated the mayor of Nice.

For the Republicans, on the other hand, the future looks less bright. Xavier Bertrand, candidate for the LR primary, rejected the support of the president of the South Region, Renaud Muselier, because of his criticism of Eric Ciotti. “In the Lépine contest of radicalism offered by the debate of the Republicans primary, Xavier Bertrand took a serious option for the podium, he who last spring, reproached the party for not fighting enough the far right”, reminded Christian Estrosi.

For the president of the South Region, Xavier Bertrand has “put on one knee”. “How can we have left the party accusing it of having gone too far to the extreme right a few years ago, and today prefer to see a president of the National Rally seated in the chair of the Southern Region?”, he asked himself, judging that “Republicans don’t grow up with such positions.”
