National Assembly: an LREM deputy joins the MoDem group

New departure for the group of the Republic on the march of the National Assembly. Christophe Jerretie, deputy for Corrèze, announced Thursday at Le Figaro that he is joining the MoDem group. "I go! I am a centrist. I need to go more to the bottom of things, ideas and values, ”he explains. He had been considering this change of group since the end of 2019. He is the 34th member to leave the LREM group since the start of the legislature.

Christophe Jerretie defends the idea of "a large center" , which LREM does not manage to embody, he believes. "I left time to time" , insists the deputy who doubts a new impetus within the LREM group, which will change president on September 10 and 11 following the resignation of Gilles le Gendre. " It is not by changing the president that we advance, " insists the former mayor of Naves. If he remains for the moment a member of the Republic on the move, he “does not exclude joining the Modem” in a second step.
