For him too, it’s “neither Macron nor Le Pen”. But well to the right. The president of the LR federation of Yvelines, Othman Nasrou, is running for the early legislative elections, he told Le Parisien this Friday. The former campaign director of François-Xavier Bellamy during the European elections will run in the 3rd constituency (Le Chesnay, La Celle-Saint-Cloud, Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche).
A territory where he now resides, after having been accustomed to electoral campaigns in Trappes. And in which he believes in his chances. He will face the outgoing MP (Renaissance) Béatrice Piron, elected since the Macron wave of 2017 on these lands long represented in the National Assembly by center-right or right-wing parliamentarians, such as Henri Guaino. The RN will also present a candidate, while the Popular Front will nominate a socialist. “We have space to reach the second round,” believes candidate Nasrou, who also presents himself as a “bulwark against the extreme left”.
He wants deputies “without denial and without excess”
Positioning ourselves had especially become necessary to clarify the position of the LRs. “It is necessary to rebuild an independent and republican right,” explains this close friend of Valérie Pécresse, of whom he is the 2nd vice-president of the Île-de-France region. And who cannot digest the crisis his party is experiencing since Eric Ciotti’s proposal to form an alliance with the RN in the first round. Agreements with the RN have thus emerged in 70 constituencies, including the 7th of Yvelines with Babette de Rozières. Without the approval of the local federation…
On Tuesday, the LR 78 announced their refusal of any agreement of this type, stressing that “Eric Ciotti’s position is his own responsibility”. As for the other candidates nominated by the LR federation of Yvelines – and not directly by Éric Ciotti, therefore – they have not yet been communicated. “We will see more clearly than Sunday”, the last day for submitting applications, explains its president. But we must send right-wing deputies to the National Assembly without denial and without excess. »
