The banner on the facade of Eric Ciotti’s office in Nice has been changed. “Les Républicains” gave way to “Republicans on the right”, reports BFM TV.
Éric Ciotti displays his singularity within the Republicans. The facade of the office of the contested president of the Republicans, and outgoing deputy for the Alpes-Maritimes, underwent a small change on Thursday June 27, BFM TV reported. The banner “The Republicans“has been replaced by a sign”Republicans on the right” on which the official party logo does not appear.
A gesture that echoes Eric Ciotti’s announcement on June 11. The day after Emmanuel Macron’s decision to dissolve the National Assembly, he declared on the set of TF1 that the Republicans had “need a wedding ring” with the National Rally during the legislative elections. An assumed turn to the right.
A fracture within LR
Following this statement, a large part of the party’s cadres expressed their disagreement and called for his resignation.Éric Ciotti only commits himself. He must leave the Republican presidency“, had notably published on social networks the president LR in the National Assembly, Olivier Marleix. On June 12, the executive office of the party had pronounced the exclusion of Éric Ciotti, a decision suspended by the courts two days later.
Since then, the outgoing deputy for Alpes-Maritimes has appeared with Jordan Bardella during a major oral presentation in front of the bosses of Medef. He was also present alongside Marine Le Pen during the press conference organized by the president of the National Rally at the start of the week. The party is experiencing an unprecedented crisis: former number 2 LR Aurélien Pradié announced on Wednesday June 26 that he was leaving the ship. “LR is dead“, he declared in particular in the columns of La Dépêche du Midi, highlighting his tensions with Eric Ciotti.
