Paris court overturns decision to expel Ciotti as head of France's right-wing Les Républicains
A Paris court ruled on Friday to overturn an earlier decision by France's conservative Republicans party to expel Eric Ciotti as the party chief, said Ciotti, in a move that could boost the far-right National Rally party ahead of parliament elections.
"The Paris court tribunal has suspended the move to expel me from the Republicans. I therefore continue to exercise my functions as party president," said Ciotti on social media platform X, confirming earlier French media reports.
Le tribunal judiciaire de Paris a suspendu mon exclusion des Républicains.
— Eric Ciotti (@ECiotti) June 14, 2024
Je conserve donc l’exercice de mes fonctions de Président.
The Republicans party had earlier this week voted to expel Ciotti after he had called for an electoral alliance with Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) party.
