In an interview aired on December 7, 2025, Xavier Bertrand, LR president of the Hauts-de-France region, distanced himself from Nicolas Sarkozy's recent statements on potential alignment with the Rassemblement national (RN). He reiterated his fight against extremes—neither LFI nor RN—and rejected the idea of a 'union of the rights' that he sees as an alliance with the far right.

The Les Républicains party suspended six of its members on Wednesday for joining the Sébastien Lecornu II government, highlighting an internal rift following Bruno Retailleau's departure. The decision, approved by a majority of the political bureau, aims to preserve the party's independence against what it sees as a leftward shift. Retailleau, with no regrets, reaffirmed his critical stance in a TV interview.
