It may just be an acronym to you, but to them it means a lot. The battle is currently raging between ex-comrades of the UMP, now Les Républicains, to capture the symbolic heritage of the Rally for the Republic (RPR), the standard party of the right from 1976 to 2002. That of Jacques Chirac, Charles Pasqua, Philippe Séguin: a piece of history.

Franck Allisio left for the National Rally in 2015, he became a deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône, and it was last summer that he created the Rassemblement pour Reconstruction (RPR) near Marignane, in the company of local elected officials having distanced themselves from LR.
