Ardent relay of LRM in the Senate and at the national level, Claude Malhuret maintained the ambiguity in the Allier, cultivating links with the departmental right.Without reservation this time, he was at the maneuver of the LRM designations in the Allier where his support for Bénédicte Peyrol is described as "treason" by several elected officials and activists from the right and from the center of the department.Embarrassed, Frédéric Aguilera wants to turn the page: "I owe a lot to Claude Malhuret, who opened the way for me, but he does not represent the future in our sector, and the political recomposition around a large center-right party. will not happen in the next few years with him.“President of the group Les Indépendants-République et territories in the Senate, the former Secretary of State in charge of human rights of Jacques Chirac, who joined in 2021 Horizons, the party of former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, plays unreservedly his last card in support of the President of the Republic.A position that accentuates the divergence with his successor, critical of “the political divide created by Emmanuel Macron”.Frédéric Aguilera declares himself "at ease in the regional majority of Laurent Wauquiez, far from the caricatures of which he is the victim", and he intends "from now on to prepare the future by campaigning for the recomposition around a large center-right party ".You have 29.79% of this article left to read.The following is for subscribers only.Playing the current World on another device.You can read Le Monde on one device at a timeThis message will be displayed on the other device.Because another person (or you) is reading Le Monde with this account on another device.You can only read Le Monde on one device at a time (computer, phone or tablet).How do I stop seeing this message?By clicking on "Continue reading here" and making sure that you are the only person to consult Le Monde with this account.What will happen if you continue reading here?This message will be displayed on the other device.The latter will remain connected with this account.Are there any other limits?No.You can log in with your account on as many devices as you want, but using them at different times.You don't know who the other person is?We advise you to change your password.Unlimited access to all World content.Support investigative journalism and independent writing.Consult the digital newspaper and its supplements, every day before 1 p.m.
