Édouard Philippe is expected firmly on Friday, September 1 in Nice, in the Albert-I gardens, a stone’s throw from the Promenade des Anglais. The former Prime Minister, who last weekend decided not to honor his invitation to the EELV Summer Days because of the presence of the rapper Médine, will indeed be the star guest of the new school year. of the political movement of the mayor of the city, Christian Estrosi, which has gathered 6,000 people every time for ten years – an influx which, given the reservations, should be of the same ilk this year.
A long-time member of the UMP then of LR, and close to Nicolas Sarkozy, former minister (for Industry, in particular), the mayor of Nice – and deputy president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region – joined in December 2021 Horizons, the movement of Édouard Philippe, of which he is the vice-president. Before that, Christian Estrosi had launched his own movement, La France audacieuse, bringing together several great mayors, mainly from the right and the center.
For a long time, the one who is also president of the metropolis of Nice has been pleading for more decentralization and trying to make the voice of local elected officials heard in the national debate. This is what he will also do on September 1, alongside the mayor of Le Havre and the president of the Paca region Renaud Muselier (their presence of both, announced by Le Figaro, is confirmed), the day after the political meeting organized by Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée. Édouard Philippe speaking in the middle of the mayors, after the president posed for a photo alongside the party leaders, we bet that the juxtaposition of the two images will be strongly commented on. The former head of government is also announced for a debate on Sunday, September 17 with the communist Fabien Roussel… at the Fête de l’Huma!
