The Orchies native, twice Secretary of State under Nicolas Sarkozy, can count on strong support within the centrist party, which is making its return and celebrating its 10th anniversary in Reims.
Interim president of UDI since June, Hervé Marseille does not hide his willingness to carry on the candidacy of Valérie Létard, while maintaining an important role at his side. Officially, the weather is not in the countryside. said Hervé Marseille to the Public SenateThursday, his desire to gather troops by the end of the year to ” reconfirm a manager “.
Lagarde, “blocking factor”
But it’s never too early to talk about the future, while Jean-Christophe Lagarde, embroiled in his legal troubles, no longer seems able to write the lines. Absent in Reims, the former deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis sees the clouds gather. The election of him to the city council of Drancy was deleted, and was taken into police custody Wednesday as part of investigations into Le Point’s false allegations against LFI MPs Raquel Garrido and Alexis Corbière.

She is not one who isolates herself. Her government in Valenciennes testifies to this. And the former mayor of Saint-André added: Your candidacy might seem natural. Another way of saying she might be the only one showing up.
The interested party, whose name circulated in May for Matignon, insists on the need to ” go back to the fundamentals of what UDI was at its foundation with Jean-Louis Borloo “, When the party brought together the New Center, the Radical Party… before the departure of Hervé Morin’s movement in 2017 after the disagreements with Jean-Christophe Lagarde.
