The behemoth “RAA” ( Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne), future second region of France in population (8 million) and gross domestic product, the ambitions of sharpening Wauquiez and Mr Barnier for several weeks. The latter, convinced Europhile, was nominated in October 2014. He was counting on an alliance with the UDI and the modem while integrating civil society in its campaign. “ This strategy can be the first act of the presidential election” , he explained to the World in January. Minister of many governments since 2013, Mr Barnier very badly the fact of being away. “This is a forced passage no justification except to impose a line that is not mine and do not reflect the interest of the region. These are old methods, “ he said in an interview with the daily The Mountain where he now refuses to join future team Wauquiez.
A choice between two lines

By designating the deputy of the Haute-Loire rather than Barnier UMP ruled between two very different lines to lead this campaign in a future region where the FN won in eight of the twelve departments in the last European elections . Bruno Gollnisch, outgoing regional councilor in Rhône-Alpes, will lead the National Front list in December.
A tireless defender of the middle classes crushed by taxes, slayer of the assistantship, former Minister for European Affairs has become increasingly critical of the European Union. In recent months, he tirelessly repeats that France must get out of Schengen. A hard line, incompatible with the values of the IDU.
As of January, Jean-Christophe Lagarde warned Nicolas Sarkozy that the appointment of Mr. Wauquiez cause the formation of an autonomous list UDI. “Elected officials from both regions were heard before the vote and nominate me unanimously. For them there was no photo, honestly it is the region that has posed the least problems with the Pays de la Loire and Nord-Pas-de-Calais “, welcomed, Thursday, the secretary general of the UMP.
