Face au médiatique ministre de l’Intérieur, Laurent Wauquiez espère l’emporter grâce à une campagne agressive menée au plus près des adhérents. Et ce, en dépit d’une image dégradée.
Laurent Wauquiez is running for the leadership of the Les Républicains (LR) party, but is trailing behind Bruno Retailleau. Wauquiez is adopting an "outsider" strategy, focusing on grassroots engagement and portraying himself as the candidate of "real people" against Retailleau, who is seen as the establishment candidate. He is hampered by a negative public image and limited support from party figures, and runs a low budget campaign.
