POLITICS – A figure of a conservative liberal right with inflexible convictions, Bruno Retailleau is about to obtain a key position: the Ministry of the Interior… A regal and prestigious portfolio, envisaged while the leader of the LR senators is known for his radical and conservative expressions.
As you can see in the video at the top of the article, The elected official from Vendée has made a number of controversial statements, such as during the riots in June 2023, when he established on Franceinfo a link between immigration, these excesses and “a kind of regression towards ethnic origins” from the “second and third generations”.
“Decivilization”
When, a few days earlier, Emmanuel Macron mentioned in the Council of Ministers a ” decivilization process “, Bruno Retailleau likes to point out on France 2 that it is a word ” which he was probably the first to use. » A word which is also and above all the title of the book by the far-right essayist Renaud Camus, published in 2011.
On societal reforms, the profile of this opponent of marriage for all also risks making people grumble. In the spring, even in the minority – a rare occurrence for him in the Senate – he was still leading the battle against the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution. As for the bill on the end of life wanted by Emmanuel Macron, it is “a euthanasia law”estimated the Vendéen with the slim figure and thin glasses.
At LR, on the contrary, we paint the picture of a man “listening”, “who knows how to round off”and we salute the balance of the duo he forms with President Gérard Larcher, capable of preserving the unity of the first parliamentary group of the upper house, much more disciplined than his counterpart in the National Assembly.
