A severe trial. 36 hours after the great victory of Bruno Retailleau at the head of the Republicans, the former Jacques Chirac Prime Minister, Dominique de Vilepin, the Interior Minister.
“The evolution of this political party”, “is a reactionary right, ultra conservative, of identity that runs with the national demonstration,” the former Matignon tenant on Tuesday, May 20 about France’s information, denouncing “a tragic drift.”
“It is difficult to make a difference with what the RN says”
For months, Dominique de Vilepin and the now new president of LR have met iron. The former Minister of Things has reported several times An “climb” and “a form of amateurism” of the tenant of the Beauvau place in his words about Algeria.
“When I listen to Bruno Retilleau on many issues, I find it difficult to make a difference with what the RN says,” Dominique de Vilepin still criticizes, concerned about a “certain number of dikes who disappear.”
“The rule of law neither intangible nor sacred” on immigration “, the regression towards ethnic origins”, “The French of paper”, “The beautiful hours of colonization … in Beauvau as in the Senate from which the LR group, the sixty and as many men has as many men, has a long time. “.” An open society “.
Criticism insensitive reconstruction
Until now, Bruno Retailleau has always supported the criticisms of which he remains halo for His speech before the United Nations in 2003 against military intervention in Iraq.
“The criticism of Monsieur de Vilepin, I don’t care how my first shirt,” said Bruno Retilleau, for example, last February.
For months, the former Matignon tenant, however, took advantage of his return in the surveys. Positioning itself as the defender A balance line On the conflict between Israel and Hamas, defender of dialogue with Algeria, where Bruno Retilleau begs the confrontation, the former head of government has little to do with the positioning of the right on international issues.
As for its economic line, Dominique de Vilepin has continued to clarify it, the one that had damaged Jacques Chirac, launching in 2005 when he was in the position of Matignon CPEThe first contracting contract, to fight against mass unemployment for young people. The measure that leads to immense manifestations of youth will even push the president, released by his own troops, to be removed.
Bad memories to the right
Suffice it to say that in the LR camp, we prefer that Dominique’s bad memories of Vilepin distanced themselves from political life in 2007 and his departure from Matignon.
Can the former cousin minister really be a pebble in Bruno Retailleau’s shoe who went cautiously at 2027 after his victory on Sunday night? Nothing is less safe when he is on the left now that we look with Dominique de Villepin with benevolence.
In the correct camp, no great world also forgot the Fiasco of its previous attempt for the 2012 presidential elections. After announcing its candidacy, Dominique de Vilepin had thrown the sponge, due to lack of harvest of the 500 necessary sponsorships.
