The sun is not going to go to bed on the Acropolis, you have to speed up. In no way embarrassed by his heels, while the rock is slippery, Valérie Pécresse goes up four to four the Muses Hill, Friday, January 14th. At the beginning of the Quinquennium, Emmanuel Macron had held a Europe’s refoundation speech on the nearby hill of the PNYX. The candidate of the Party the Republicans (LR) disdained the road that carries there, borrows a small steep path that bifur on the left, and rises above, always faster, sowing in passing part of his delegation, breathless.
Arrival at the top, it contemplates the parthenon wrapped in the soft evening light. And takes the pose alongside his two “musketeers”, the MP (LR) of the Alpes-Maritimes Eric Ciotti and the former European Commissioner Michel Barnier, who accompany him in this trip to Greece from 14 to 16 January.
The first, dressed in a long black coat, does not leave the candidate of a sole, sort of “prince consort” of the campaign since the two finalists of the LR Congress appeared side by side at the balcony of the Town Hall of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, the day after the victory of Valérie Pécresse. As for the second, in charge of the international component of the presidential project, it is requisitioned by the member of the European member Nadine Morano who wants his photo in front of the Parthenon, as in his “geographical courses”.
A little earlier, in front of the Herodion Theater, at the foot of the Acropolis, Valérie Pécresse explained the reasons for his coming to Greece, cradle of democracy, “country that has [so] brought to Europe” on Philosophical, cultural and political plans. “The challenge is to return to the cradle of European civilization, she launched, emphasizing the importance of having” roots and wings “:” We do not know where we go if we do not know Not where you come. “
Evoke immigration and the issue of EU borders
The LR candidate also touted the drastic reforms implemented by Greece in the wake of the debt crisis, judging that they had borne fruit. While the President of the Ile-de-France Region reproaches Emmanuel Macron a coacotic reformism, she rented a “resilient country” and “courageous”, which took “hand-the-corps his difficulties”.
“A symbolic trip, slides the very right-handed Eric Ciotti, down the hill of the muses. As the displacement in Armenia [end of December 2021], it shows the attachment of Valérie Pécresse to our civilization, to what we are And want to stay! “
