In Paris, Sarah Knafo claims that political obstacles prevented any alliance with Rachida Dati between the two rounds of the municipal elections. The former far-right candidate asserts that she was informed of a refusal from Édouard Philippe's entourage during a direct conversation with the right-wing candidate.
According to her, this discussion took place on the eve of her withdrawal, when she was still considering a rapprochement in the name of a right-wing alliance. She also mentions Pierre-Yves Bournazel's role in this refusal, believing that this strategy closed the door to any coalition.
Conflicting accounts of the negotiations
Rachida Dati's entourage, however, disputes this interpretation and maintains that the candidate herself refused any alliance. These contradictory statements illustrate the tensions and strategic disagreements within the Parisian right-wing camp.
This episode highlights the persistent divisions between the different sensibilities of the right, in a campaign marked by realignments and tactical choices between the two rounds.
