The president of the Republicans (LR) Eric Ciotti launched a « appel » to right-wing voters, Saturday March 23, during his party’s first major campaign meeting for the European elections.
“Come back!” Come back to your values, come back to your political family. No matter the paths taken, we must come together for France”he declared in front of some 3,000 activists who came to attend the event at the Docks de Paris in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis).
