Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National does not like General Roberto Vannacci. Despite being in the Patriots for Europe group together with the League, RN opposes the vice presidency entrusted to the military record holder of the choices in the European elections. He does so with Jean-Philippe Tanguy, deputy coordinator of Le Pen’s 2022 presidential campaign. He asks Matteo Salvini’s party to nominate another vice president: «The election is the result of a unilateral announcement by the League. We oppose the assignment. This is our position.” It is clear that the right of Le Pen, fresh from victory in the legislative election, is now self-criticizing the errors in the campaign. And Vannacci is starting to be too high even for the dominants from outside the Alps.
So much so that in an interview with The font even Laurent Jacobelli, former spokesperson for the RN and now a member of parliament, against the general. «I do not know Vannacci personally but from what I have read he has made statements that do not correspond to the values of the National Rassemblement. To be clear, I think this gentleman will not be vice president. It seems impossible to me”, says Jacobelli, recalling that Jordan Bardella also criticized the General’s positions.
