The LR mayor of Cannes David Lisnard on the starting line of the rights for 2027. Since the scent of an anticipated presidential election floats in the fresh winter air, each camp is beginning to anticipate this eventuality. Not only on the left, with the rebels at the bridgehead, but also on the right. A long-time supporter of a primary for 2027, the very liberal mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, officially submitted his candidacy on Wednesday in Nice. The boss of his micro-party New Energy also calls on all the right-wing (and even the extreme right) contenders to come and rub shoulders with this “competition” the timetable of which he would like to speed up. “Politics is competition. I’m not afraid of competition.” began the boss, still LR, of the mayors of France. Before developing: “I am proposing a major competition to designate the leader of the right before next summer. Let Laurent Wauquiez go, if Édouard Philippe is on the right, let him go, if Gérald Darmanin wants to go, if Xavier Bertrand wants to go, if Aurélien Pradié… If Éric Ciotti wants to go. Let them go. Everyone will be able to vote – we will have a little money, I will go and I will be a candidate.” We have known a more solemn declaration of candidacy for the supreme office.
