Between UDI former
It remains to be seen how, among the running mate of Philippe Marini, this alliance will be digested.

Before 2020, Daniel Leca had asked them if she wanted to join the list he was going to lead. As they remained on the list of the LR mayor, he had asked them, as UDI departmental president, to give up their card. “It was not an exclusion,” explains Daniel Leca.
