what future for Aurélien Pradié within the party?

“I refuse that the right gradually becomes the conciliatory crutch of macronie”. Aurélien Pradié does not mince his words. The deputy of Lot published a press release this Sunday afternoon, after being dismissed from office this Saturday by Éric Ciotti, the president of the Republican party. A decision taken in particular because of the disagreement for weeks between the two men on the pension reform, in particular the chapter on long careers. But Aurélien Pradié still remains in the party with an idea in mind and intends to capitalize on this sequence, satisfied with having “made the subject of long careers essential”.

Aurélien Pradié now isolated within the LR

The deputy of Lot, still unknown six months ago, took advantage of the campaign for the presidency of the Republicans to make his line heard, that of a more viable right on the social, contrary to what his party defended For years. However, his ousting from the organization chart of LR sounds like a blow. Car Aurélien Pradié is in the minority, not to say isolated, within the Republicans. If his position on long careers convinced a significant part of deputies on the right, his attitude considered too personal and extremist irritates the executives.

Difficult therefore, in the absence of troops, to envisage a departure from the party. “I will remain faithful to my political family”, confirms Aurélien Pradié. He is this week, like his colleagues, on vacation. Something to appease the spirits, we want to believe on the side of the management of LR. With Eric Ciotti, however, the break seems consummated and their cohabitation in the Assembly should logically suffer. For his part, the president of the Republicans must now convince the LR deputies to vote for the reform. Because a rejection of the text for lack of LR votes would be seen as a disavowal for the boss of the party.
