You have to see Jean-Michel Blanquer drawing an imaginary picture in the air with his finger.
With two columns.
One titled “for”, the other “against”.
Going to challenge Valérie Pécresse in Ile-de-France or not, that is the question.
In the column “for” Jean-Michel Blanquer lists: 1) LREM must exist at the regional level, 2) the regions have enormous powers in terms of economic recovery so the majority must be represented there, and 3) it will be necessary although it goes in front of the voters at one point or another.
In the column of "against", the minister sees two obstacles: 1) difficult to be in the oven and the mill, 2) he always said that he dreamed of doing the 5 years at the Ministry of National Education.
We allow ourselves to add a third element: in the event of defeat by universal suffrage, Emmanuel Macron would be forced, no doubt, to reshuffle one of his favorite ministers.
In short, it will be either the electoral adventure (very risky, Agnès Buzyn still remembers it), or the rue de Grenelle, but not both.
There are not many people in Macronie to believe that the column of "for" will win in the end.
What is more, it is a very bad idea to embark on an electoral campaign without wanting to, the voters see it immediately (Agnès Buzyn still remembers it, bis).
Jean-Michel Blanquer must give his decision in early February, but when we let the president "there are things that I do not feel", it is already taken!
Refuse the obstacle that happens in politics ... Do you know?
Jean-Michel Blanquer's best friend is called François Baroin.
We will no doubt soon discover a new point in common.
