Marleix criticizes the possibility of choosing a “perfect guest”.

The host of the LCI morning show, Olivier Marleix, President of the LR group in the National Assembly, criticized the possibility of the appointment of Thierry Beaudet: “To choose a complete stranger would be to ignore the message sent by France.”
