Doctor Éric & Mister Ciotti: the many facets of the favorite of the LR congress

November 20, 2021. The candidates for the Les Républicains primary for the Élysée pass a grand oral at the Palais des Congrès in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in front of the members of the party’s National Council. Xavier Bertrand, who will dominate the exercise, strolls on stage “American style”, microphone in hand, as usual. “Soon, he will be selling us vacuum cleaners! ” Slips Éric Ciotti, turning towards the 2nd row, making the surrounding elected officials chuckle.
