Mix of genres or strict separation? A few hours before the presentation of his first evaluation six months after his appointment at the Interior Ministry this Thursday, the double limit of Bruno Retilleau, a great favorite to take the lead, annoyed.
In the ranks of his competitor Laurent Wauquiez, who tried to score points proposing to send the “more dangerous” people under the blow of OQTF to Saint-Pierre-Et-Miququelon this Tuesday, we are determined to make this accumulation an angle of attack.
“It disturbs me that uses its function to try to become president of the right. These are different jobs. He tells us that there is no problem. But he only has one brain, a body. We mix everything,” says one of Laurent Wauquiez’s relatives with BFMTV.com.
Scrupulous refund
Senator Les Républicins Marc-Philippe Daubresse, near Bruno Retilleau: “Frankly, I don’t understand criticism. When you are worried about the result of the party, you are looking for a way to denigrate the other.”
Anxious to avoid any controversy, your office ensures that a particularly strict financial discipline is applied to separate your life from your campaign minister for LR.
Example with his vehicle: once the Interior Minister was expected as in a police station, his team scrupulously note the number of kilometers traveled.
When Bruno Retilleau takes the way to go to a meeting, the mileage meter exhibition is observed. The kilometric costs are reimbursed Bruno Retilleau’s campaign budget.
“We never hesitate to cancel a campaign trip”
The same mole for the equipment that surrounds it. His entourage explains that the members of his ministerial cabinet never participate in events in the Minister’s campaign. It is the collaborators in charge of their candidacy for the LRs that are on deck during the metings.
But distinction is sometimes more difficult to do for security. “This is not negotiable. It always has bodyguards and a armored car, wherever I go, either for a private, ministerial or campaign trip,” said one of his ministerial advisors.
Another questioning: the question of its availability in this emergency ministry, with very little time. “We never hesitate to cancel a campaign trip if he hit his agenda,” he defends a relative from Bruno Retilleau.
Expected this Friday for a meeting with activists in Mont-de-Marsan (Landes), the man of sixty and so many years will finally be in Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées) to pay tribute to the CRS killed during a rescue operation on April 8.
“Not respectful of activists”
“Very good. But he admits that he is not respectful of LR activists show that you can’t do everything right,” laments a chosen representative of the Rhone, worried about “the rest if he wins.”
In the case of a victory, will Bruno Retailleau have time to take care of the party that will need a serious job in ideas to have the opportunity to win the presidential elections? No one imagines, in no case, that the party is based on the program of its candidate in 2022 Valérie Pecresse, which had not even reached 5%.
In the Interior Minister’s camp, no one worries the issue. It should be said that in 2005, Nicolas Sarkozy had taken the head of the UMP, the ancestor of the LR, while Beauvau was before winning largely the presidential elections 2 years later.
“We can’t do everything”
“It is an active being Minister of the Interior and head of the right. You have a very precise vision of what to do with your themes for the French but also in all other issues,” he wants to believe that Senator LR, Marc-Philippe Daubresse.
“All of that is an impossible mission,” sighs a former deputy on the right.
“Being a point in the fight against terrorism, OQTF, the protection of the French and at the same time comply with intellectuals to do a program, have time to think. We cannot do everything,” he acknowledges this former parent.
Can Laurent Wauquiez’s arguments really? If the Interior Minister directs the role in the role and the president of the deputies of LR seems far behind, the result of the ballot is still very uncertain.
The number of LR activists is too low to do surveys and this choice often reserves surprises, as we could see during the competition between François Copé and François Fillon in 2012. “In the end, we will all have to reconcile.
