It is not “not an altar boy” but Michel Barnier, candidate for the nomination of the right, warned against any “controversial campaign” Where “aggressiveness and attacks” by the Republican Congress on December 4. “What is important is that we respect each other” while the right “is in a serious and demanding situation”, said the former Brexit negotiator, during a public meeting in Maisons-Alfort (Val-de-Marne), Tuesday October 26.

“I do not know if I am the favorite, an election is won on election day. It is not the polls, the little musics that make the election.”

For him, the Republicans party and the right have “a very serious responsibility” during this presidential election. “If we do not win it, we must fear the worst. If we are not present in the second round, the risk of explosion exists. So many people on the right and on the left want to recover pieces of our political family!” added the former minister in front of a room of 150 people.
