France will hold early legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.
The leader of Los Republicanos (LR), Éric Ciotti, was expelled this Wednesday “unanimously” from the traditional right-wing party that he has led for a year and a half, for his willingness to ally himself with the extreme right on the eve of early legislative elections. .
“We have just voted unanimously to exclude Éric Ciotti from our political family. He is no longer a member of The Republicans,” the party declared in a statement published in Xold Twitter.
Ciotti’s announcement on Tuesday that he wanted to ally himself with the far-right National Rally (RN) had caused a stir in the party.
