The idea of an isolated fan or the discreet launch of a support network?
Officially declared on September 2 at the Paris police headquarters, the association "Paris avec Edouard" claims to have as its object "to bring together and federate citizens from all walks of life wishing to promote and support the action of Edouard Philippe", of “To be a militant force to support (his) action” and “to organize groups of local support for Edouard Philippe's action throughout Greater Paris”.
The association is domiciled in rue Jouffroy-d'Abbans, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
The name of its founder is not public.
Asked by the Parisian - Today in France, the entourage of Edouard Philippe is categorical: "We have nothing to do with this association, we do not know the person who is at the origin".

Since his departure from Matignon, speculations have been rife on the future of the mayor of Le Havre.
The person concerned assures that he is loyal to the Head of State.
A possible structuring of its networks would therefore be a departure from this commitment.
The former Prime Minister, however, seems far from having completely turned the page on national life.
Anxious to maintain his capital sympathy, Edouard Philippe will go on September 25 to the workshops of the Republic of mayors in Angers, at the invitation of the mayor Christophe Béchu.
At the same time, he will travel to support senatorial candidates.
Finally, since this summer, he has started writing, an exercise in which he should go back in filigree on his experience of power.
We are far from falling back on a local mandate.

Edouard Philippe will have to wait before returning to his old place of work.
