This Sunday, December 11, during the vote of the members of the party La Républicains, Éric Ciotti won with 53.7% against Bruno Retailleau.
The Côte-d’Or federation congratulates the new president.
Press release from the Federation of Republicans of Côte-d’Or of December 11, 2022:
Sunday, the Republicans were invited to elect the President of their political family during the second round of the internal election. More than 91,000 up-to-date members were called to vote during this online ballot.
The Federation of Republicans of Côte-d’Or warmly congratulates Eric CIOTTI for his victory and will support him restored in his mandate. We also extend our congratulations to Bruno RETAILLEAU for his campaign, as well as to Aurélien PRADIE. The campaign allowed everyone to express themselves and debate calmly, to expose the vision and the project carried by each.
The Political Bureau of the federation Les Républicains 21 sincerely congratulated and thanked the Côte d’Or volunteers involved in the organization of the ballot and the activists involved in the campaign teams who achieved real success in this electoral process.
The political period we are going through now requires the immediate gathering of all the forces that make up our political family. The union is no longer an option.
From now on, the executives, elected officials and militants of the Republicans are in working order.
The Republicans must embody the alternative to Emmanuel Macron’s policy, characterized by the explosion of public debt, the failure of the migration policy, the weakening of France’s place in Europe and in the world. But also the alternative to extreme left and extreme right populism, which mutually fuel mistrust of institutions.
The responsibility of our political family is great: it is up to us to carry a readable and credible political project to meet the major challenges facing our country.
The Federation of Republicans of Côte-d’Or with its members and all of its elected officials will participate in the refoundation of our movement alongside our new president.
François-Xavier DUGOURD, President of the LR21 federation
