In the local political landscape, no one remained indifferent to the American elections. But very few applauded Donald Trump's triumph, except far-right elected officials and activists.
No way for them to see “a dark day” for democracy, like the mayor (DVG) of Sedan, or a « catastrophe »according to the vice-president (UDI) of Marne, the Reims centrist Mario Rossi.
On the contrary, at the National Rally, we see above all a possibility of accessing supreme power by hammering out a “Trumpist” discourse, therefore very nationalist.
“The main information from this electionsummarizes the Marnese elected official Anne-Sophie Frigout, it is that we must finally have a president in France who serves the interests of the French people. The last seven years have shown that this is clearly not the case.asserts the new RN MEP.
“A great lesson in democracy” according to RN deputy Nicolas Dragon
Ditto for the deputy (RN) of Laon Nicolas Dragon, for whom Trump's victory is “a great lesson in democracy” : “The American people spoke freely, regardless of the lessons given. When the people vote, the people always win. » For the Axonais, this result “must sound like a wake-up call: we must first rely on ourselves for our defense, our economy, our jobs, our industries”and for “defend French interests”.
Although everyone is aware of the new challenges to come, the elected representatives of the moderate right are however not calling for a withdrawal into oneself, but to strengthen in parallel the weight of France and that of Europe. This is what the deputy (Horizons) for Marne, Xavier Albertini, recommends: like his colleague Lise Magnier, or the mayor of Reims Arnaud Robinet, he calls for “grasp this election” pour “strengthen the place of France and Europe in the concert of the great world powers”.
