Despite its wide defeat for the presidency of the Republicans, Laurent Wauquiez remains magnanimous. For Sunday night by Bruno Retilleau, the defeated proposed to the new leader of the right to participate in the group meeting of LR agents on Tuesday morning, according to BFMTV.
The head of the right -wing troops at the National Assembly obviously did not choose to play the letter of bitterness publicly. After the announcement of the results, Laurent Wauquiez, who has faced a very difficult internal campaign in recent months, addressed “his desires for success” to the Interior Minister.

“United, we can win,” he insisted on the president of the deputies LR of his Puy-en-Velay fief, after exchanging by phone. But the former president of the Auverne-Rhône-Alpes region, which has not been mystery to his presidential ambitions for years, has not changed his rifle. Staying faithful to one of the axes of his country, he urged Bruno Retaille not to “dilute the right in macronism.”
On the side of the new head of the right, we also monitor the hand to Laurent Wauquiez and his relatives, inviting the deputy of Haute-Loire to the strategic council of LR this Tuesday morning, which aims to launch in particular the battle of the municipalities. But the loser will not be there.
“It will have arrived in Paris at that time,” says one of his relatives.

Can the relative agreement between the two men last after a defeat considered humiliating for Laurent Wauquiez? Everything depends on the place that Bruno Retailleau will make to his former competitor within the movement.

Bruno Retailleau, already sailed for the presidential elections of 2027, promising to be “the first victory artisan” on the right. Now in charge of being able to definitely renounce Laurent Wauquiez to his presidential ambitions, as well as other lieutenants of the right, such as the president of Hauts-De-France Xavier Bertrand and the mayor of Cannes David Lisnard.
