With one stone, LR makes several shots. Beyond their speed, Les Républicains show their unity.
We are far from the tensions observed on pensions. For the main right-wing party, unity is a prerequisite for credibility.

With a view to an alternative to the Head of State, it is obviously on the content of the discourse that the latter is built. This is the second effect produced by the initiative.
