Split to the left of the majority: the rally is no longer a recipe

FIGAROVOX / TRIBUNE - The departure of Aurélien Taché and the announcement of the formation of a group of "dissident" deputies reveals, according to communications professor Arnaud Benedetti, a form of return to the traditional political divide.


Arnaud Benedetti is associate professor at Paris-Sorbonne University. He is editor-in-chief of the Political and Parliamentary Review, and has notably published Le coup de com 'permanent (Cerf, 2018).

Aurélien Taché takes the tangent. In the JDD, in order to give greater relief to a micro-event, the deputy announces his departure from the majority party, recalling that he comes from the left and that he intends to stay there. And also attesting to the fact that macronism, in wanting to overcome divisions, has fallen on the side where any endeavor to overcome these ends its course: the ambivalence which took place at the origin of the principle of organizing the approach initiated by the future president of the Republic and which today constitutes his survival kit.

In its desire to aggregate sometimes contradictory currents, the Spanish inn of macronie had drilled down to the deepest strata of societal, of political correctness, going as far as the shatters of the fellow travelers of Indigenism including Aurélien Taché is one of the barely concealed representatives. To want to absorb everything, including sometimes those close to the Manif pour tous like Agnès Thill (purged, for her hostile positions to the "PMA for all", so incompatible with the "progressive" showcase of the brand of walkers) , they no doubt imagined that the growth of their market could continue regardless of any principle of consistency.

The catchment areas have their own logics which reappear as soon as the brand is abused.

However, catchment areas have their own logics which reappear as soon as the brand is battered by headwinds. After more than three years in office, the drift of the macronist continent in the center-right detaches like a foreign land the islets most politically identity that he had embarked on his adventure, as if to better signify in his conquest his ability to bring together. Aurélien Taché is one of these islets, outsider of all the accommodation of the principles of secularism and of the national fact to the claims which contest it, which Emmanuel Macron's campaign remarks on the absence of French culture could only nourish community eschatology.

With less than two years of the presidential election, this rupture is certainly marginal, like the constitution on Tuesday of a parliamentary group to the left of the majority group. They nonetheless remain, the one as the other, the sign of a fraying, even a beginning of disintegration of a political body which holds only by its communicating gondola head, its Elysian initiator, who increasingly reduce politics to marketing is now faced with the re-politicization of a country he thought he was leading as a start-up.

From this point of view, Aurélien Taché is only a symptom, only a shadow among others that heralds the silting up of the governing marsh, of a gradual return to a form of bipolarisation of the electoral scene. In politics, the communicator does not ring twice.
