Éric Ciotti, deputy and departmental advisor LR of the Alpes-Maritimes and primary candidate that his party could organize in the context of the 2022 presidential election, called on Saturday, August 28, 2021 for a peaceful countryside
, before his candidacy speech in Levens, in the hinterland of Nice.
It is a campaign that I wish serene, peaceful, on ideas
, the deputy for Nice told the press, before speaking in front of around 2,000 of his supporters seated in a rural atmosphere.
Ciotti wants a “peaceful” primary on the right
The French look with concern at the threats weighing on France, we must provide them with answers in unity
, insisted Eric Ciotti, two days after unveiling his candidacy for the Republican primary.
Our family must be united, united, I have no opponents in this election, only friends, whether Xavier Bertrand, Valérie Pécresse, Philippe Juvin or Michel Barnier, maybe others, we have a duty of unity
, he continued.
We know that at the exit it will only take one candidate, if there are two, it is not even worth going further
, to warn Éric Ciotti: This is not a quarrel, let alone a war, it is a process of coming together that will allow voters to choose the best or the best for France.
.
“Strong” and very right-wing ideas
During this primary Eric Ciotti intends to advance strong ideas
like blood rights to obtain French nationality, so as not to become French by chance
, a flat tax on income tax
or the very sharp reduction in inheritance taxes
.
Similarly Éric Ciotti intends to make proposals to give meaning to the course of the Republican school
also for a major climate preservation policy, with science and progress as solutions, particularly through nuclear energy
.
During his speech, referring to his friends
Laurent Wauquiez and Bruno Retailleau, ultimately non-candidates for this primary, Eric Ciotti launched a call to all those who share with (him) this fight to defend together a strong France served by a strong right
.
It is September 25 that the LR members, during a virtual congress, should endorse or not this process of primary on the right. Until then, polls should make it possible to calibrate the contenders.
Xavier Bertrand, ex-LR, who for the moment is ahead of his rivals in the polls, but without crushing the match, has so far categorically excluded from participating in any primary.
