Final push for Michel Butti who, along with his running mate and deputy Géraldine Genre, received support from national secretary Nicolas Bay to provide an update on the election campaign for the by-election in the 5th district of Alpes-Maritimes.
Against the Estrosi system, the party candidate aims to be the alternative and a witness to the progression of his party in Alpes-Maritimes, where it holds the most significant position in the opposition.
Introduced by Lionel Tivoli, the young departmental secretary and symbol of the renewal of this political party that has definitively turned the page from the Le Pen era to embrace that of Marine Le Pen, Michel Butti reported a positive reception and feedback from the people he encountered during his field visits.
“I believe the conditions are right to secure victory,” he stated.
It was also an opportunity for Nicolas Bay, one of Marine Le Pen’s most important collaborators, to openly attack the factionalism of the outgoing and re-entering deputy in the form of a deputy, criticized as a vassal of the area.
For the national leader (he is a Member of the European Parliament and a regional councilor in Normandy), the good results of the 2015 canton elections (the National Front was the second party in 25 of the 27 cantons) laid the foundations for future successes amidst the failure of socialist policies at the national level and the local clientelism of the right-wing galaxy that politically dominates the department.
For Nicolas Bay: “Only the National Front and its candidates represent a credible alternative.”
Confirmation will come or not from the voters, who on Sunday will have the opportunity to express themselves by choosing the ballot paper to place in the ballot boxes.
