It's a match within a match. While Laurent Wauquiez is waging a fierce internal campaign against Bruno Retailleau for the presidency of LR, he will face another rival.

A strange display just a week before the Republican activists' vote ? "It's an opportunity to confront his main opponent: LFI and its communitarian project," responds Wauquiez's entourage. Bompard isn't fooled: "He's trying to win his congress by being more anti-Insoumis than Retailleau."
