Didier Herbillon, mayor (DVG) of Sedan:
“It is a black day, which marks the victory of populism in the world's leading power. It is also a dark day for Europe, which will have to review its relationship with its traditional ally, and perhaps even have to change it. Today, the stakes are immense, for Europe, for France, not even to mention Ukraine…”
Cédric Chevalier, senator (Horizons) of Marne:
“The campaign calls out. How far can populism and trashy politics go? Be careful of the risk of spreading to France… Today, I am especially worried about Ukraine and women's rights. And then, while the United States refocuses on itself, France and Europe must find how to become strong again and be able to influence tomorrow. »
Arnaud Robinet, mayor (Horizons) of Reims and president of Grand Reims:
“Our American friends democratically elected Trump. Let's respect their choice and stop giving lessons. It is up to us, French and Europeans, to regain our place among the great world powers. For a more united, stronger and more sovereign Europe in this new context. »
Florian Lecoultre, mayor (DVG) of Nouzonville (Ardennes):
“In the United States as in France, when the left abandons the defense of the working and middle classes, it loses. Let's move from words to action and reconnect with a social project that truly protects our sovereignty and the people we are supposed to defend. »
Lise Magnier, MP (Horizons) for Châlons:
“American voters elected Donald Trump. I welcome this election and I hope that our very old Franco-American friendship will continue with respect and frankness. It is up to us, French and Europeans, to unite and get along to always be on par with the great powers of the world. »
