This meeting leaves seriously indifferent or annoying. The reactions diverge within the Les Répudicins party after its founder, Nicolas Sarkozy, met the head of the national concentration, Jordan Bardella, this Tuesday, July 2 in his offices in Paris, information revealed by Le Parisien later confirmed by BFMTV.
Some focus. “It’s shit,” a LR deputy deplored with RMC, while a former gaullist training minister abounded:
“Nicolas Sarkozy, who receives Jordan Bardella, is to give him legitimacy and relaunch the hypothesis of a union of the lines. What weakens the position of the LR.”
“It’s anything. Nicolas Sarkozy spent five years telling us to the alliance with the center; and now that we have someone who goes up to Beauvau, he called almost bardella,” plague a LR deputy with BFMTV.com.
“Aperitive Police”
At the end of the interview of approximately one hour, a relative of the former president refutes this idea of a dubbing by Jordan Bardella. This meeting did not have “political significance”, “it was a human moment”, “very cordial”, during which the two personalities “spoke of France”, according to him.
The entourage of the president of the RN, who had sent several winks to Nicolas Sarkozy in the past, mentioned “cut and warm” discussions.
Contacted by BFMTV.com, several members of the correct formation sweep all discomfort.
“People have the right to know whoever they want. I have always found the police of the Abeans quite vain,” said Julien Aubert, vice president of LR. While recognizing that “it is always better that Nicolas Sarkozy meets people from his (their) political family.”
“The central question is the political line of the RN”
If this meeting comes at a time when the Interior Minister and the new president of LR, Bruno Retailleau, gives the impulse to the right, while the RN seeks to discredit it to counteract his increase in power, the entourage of the latter relative.
“It is a coffee, not support. These are really stupid controversies. There is more noise when an LR talks to an RN than when the left fricotes with the support of Hamas or that bring dissolved associations in France in the National Assembly,” they tell us.
Within the party, Undersecretary General Pierre-Henri Dumont prefers to learn from the point of view from the national rally and “its internal struggles.” “The central question raised by this meeting is that of the political line” of the extreme right party, according to the former deputy of Pas-de-Calais that adds:
“Jordan Bardella has a union tendency of the lines and Marine Le Pen wants to be a line or to the right or left.” Or how to return the ball to the opponent camp.
