The rapprochement in the Bouches-du-Rhône between an RN deputy and the diverse-right mayor of Marignane to “resurrect” the former Gaullist party RPR created a stir on Saturday, on the right and on the left. Franck Allisio, RN deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône and himself ex-LR, and Eric Le Dissès, various-right mayor of Marignane and vice-president of the department and the Aix-Marseille metropolis, announced Friday evening in a communicated “the (re) foundation of the RPR as a movement of elected officials and citizens wishing (…) to rebuild France, to turn the page on macronism and to block the far left Nupes”.
A new pickaxe in the “republican dam”
Franck Allisio, departmental delegate of the National Rally, assures that he “obviously remains a convinced marinist and an elected official of the RN” and that “Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella (the president of the RN) are informed of their approach which they watch with kindness “. The two elected officials believe in their press release that “their initiative is intended to be applied everywhere in France, in each territory”.
Eric Ciotti, president of the Les Républicains (LR) party, a distant descendant of the RPR (1976-2002), the Rally for the Republic created by Jacques Chirac, was indignant at this announcement on Twitter, repeating that he refuses any idea ” union of the rights” at party level. “The RN wants to appropriate the RPR brand. Rather than working on ideas, they prefer to fall into petty political calculations. This is what differentiates a government party from a slogan party. We will not let it happen! »
The local left, for its part, denounced this rapprochement and challenged the heads of local executives. “This ideological convergence demonstrates that the dikes are clearly giving way,” said PCF departmental secretary Jérémy Bacchi in a statement, calling Martine Vassal, LR president of the department and of the metropolis, who had supported Emmanuel Macron in the presidential election. , to relieve Eric Le Dissès of his responsibilities in these bodies.
Conviction of local executive officials
Le Printemps marseillais, a coalition of parties and collectives of the left and environmentalists who won the town hall of Marseille in June 2020, made the same request in a press release, denouncing “a worrying, opportunistic and dangerous turn of the local right”. Both asked Martine Vassal and the president of the Paca region, the ex-LR Renaud Muselier, today in the Renaissance party, to “take their responsibilities”.
“I strongly condemn Eric Le Dissès’ decision to create an association with Mr. Allisio of the RN. As I have always demonstrated in the past, I will never adhere to this type of approach,” reacted the president of the metropolis on Twitter, announcing her intention to “meet the mayor of Marignane in the coming days”. Renaud Muselier, who counts among his majority an assistant to Eric Le Dissès at the town hall of Marignane, for his part assured that this elected official had “immediately dissociated herself from this alliance initiative”.
