“The situation is serious”begins Julia Manuelo who has just launched, this Monday afternoon, a petition to ask “Graig Monetti’s withdrawal from the Republican front.”
The candidate of the presidential and municipal majority in Nice came third in the poll in the 1st constituency of the Alpes-Maritimes with 22.79%.
Ahead of him, the Insoumis Olivier Salerno for the New Popular Front with 26.62% and Éric Ciotti (LR-RN), in the lead with 41.04%. At midday, this Monday, Graig Monetti announced that he was maintaining his position.
Pradal retires, “a decision that does him credit”
“While an openly xenophobic party with a program that offends the values that are our pride and our motto, liberty, equality, fraternity, it is important for each person claiming to represent our people to live up to this historic moment, and to know how to step aside, also erasing in doing so careers that do not concern us as citizens, for the benefit of the common interest.”continues the text of the petition which evokes a “mortal danger that weighs on our democracy, on a local as well as national scale.” “Philippe Pradal, also a member of Horizons, announced the withdrawal of his candidacy, a decision which does him credit,” sends him the author of the text. Who reminds him of Gabriel Attal’s watchword “clearly simple: wherever the RN is in the lead, the third candidate must step aside, including in the face of LFI candidates compatible with republican values. (…) The attachment to republican values of Olivier Salerno, a vocational high school teacher, and Anne-Laure Chaintron, a primary school teacher, known, recognized and appreciated everywhere here for their daily commitment to our lives and our neighborhoods, cannot be doubted – or you will have to show us proof of it”, Julia Manuelo concluded.
