Beyond the considerations on the crisis that the country is going through, the LR team considers that there is “a great opportunity to seize on the 5eorphan of a real MP and where we lost 5 years”, authorizes the mayor of Caluire after having been “on restraint” during the mandate.
Bastien Joint also recalls in this regard that in the right-wing primary at the time, François Fillon ” made his biggest score here “. A way of saying that the territory seduced by the Macron wave would not have such a long way to go to return to the Republican fold.
