Primary of the right and center: Hervé Morin wants a “meeting” of the main candidates

The president of the Normandy region and supporter of David Lisnard, Hervé Morin called on BFMTV on Monday for a “meeting” within “the 15 days” between his candidate, Gabriel Attal, Bruno Retailleau and Édouard Philippe with a view to organizing a primary between these four contenders for the Élysée, “under the leadership of Gérard Larcher”. Objective: “That we are able to build” a “charter” with the conditions for organizing the primary of the right and the center for the presidential election of 2027.

To date, Gabriel Attal (Renaissance), Bruno Retailleau (Les Républicains) and David Lisnard (Nouvelle Énergie) have accepted the principle of a primary, but the Horizons mayor of Le Havre, Édouard Philippe, firmly refuses it. “If it is not done within 15 days, the primary will not take place, because it must be done at the beginning of January at the latest,” considers the president of the Normandy region, proposing that the president of the Senate Gérard Larcher be “the godfather of all this”.
