Some words that do not go through the presidential camp. A few days before the vote for the presidency of the Republicans, Bruno Retilleau explained this Wednesday morning in Europe, 1 is “not yet macronista”, ensuring “having real differences” with Emmanuel Macron “for example about immigration.”
“It was too far,” annoyed a Renaissance minister with BFMTV, judging that his colleague in charge of the interior had made “absolutely abnormal” comments.
“It’s a beautiful policy”
The maneuver of the Beauvau site aims to reassure LR activists despite its internal competitor Laurent Wauquiez fears “the deletion” of the right in the government of François Bayrou. “We decided, the right, return (to the government) to avoid the worst,” said Bruno Retilleau.
But within the deputies of the Renaissance who look at the Minister of the Interior with great distrust, it is out of discussion to accept such distance from Emmanuel Macron.
“Being against macronism but accepting to be appointed precisely for who created macronism? It is the beautiful politics,” joked the deputy Prisca Thévenot, former Government’s Porty in a WhatsApp loop of chosen macronists.
“Why is he?”
For weeks, Bruno Retilleau has not hesitated to distance himself from certain files, starting with the discussions at the end of life in the National Assembly. The former president of Senators LR refuses to support the bill to die in which he sees an “anthropological breakup.”
“What Prisca Thévenot wanted to say is that if he does not recognize himself in what the president carries, why did he go?” It replaces a close friend of former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal with BFMTV.
As for the organization of proportional legislative elections, desired by François Bayrou, the Interior Minister must be responsible for defending them before Parliament.
“This agreement with the LR, a bad series”
But he explained several times that he opposed fiercely just like all his movement. Emmanuel Macron, however, participated in 2017 on the subject in his program and then again in 2022.
“It means that he will take steps on the side” if the presidency of the deputies of LR “wins and that does not exist. You cannot express yourself personally when you are minister. When the arbitrations are returned, you are united,” said a member a government.
Discuss of deputy Éric Bothorel to his colleagues in the Whatsapp discussion thread: “I propose to pronounce an OQTG (obligation to leave the government). This agreement with the LRs that some have pressed here, is really a bad series and all the seasons are rotten.”
“Then did he resign from his position as Minister of the Interior after his victory on Sunday?” He jokes his University Ludovic Mendes.
Discomfort as municipal approaches
It is enough to say that if Bruno Retailleau takes the LR Congress on Sunday night, tensions could still rise as the municipal approaches in 10 months.
“If you choose me to be your president, there will be no devices between our party and other political parties,” said Interior Minister with activists on Wednesday.
Understand: there will be no alliance between LR and Macronie to “use a right solved right.”
Problem: In Marseille, the president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’Azur region, Renaud Muselier (Renaissance), intends to support Martine Vassal (LR) for the City Council. In Paris, it is difficult to imagine that LR does not support the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, of his own camp, while it is very likely that the presidential camp will invest it.
