Laurent Wauquiez was left on the evening of June 2, 2019. Cornered to resign from the presidency of the Republicans after the failure of the party list in the European elections.
For nearly two years, he had withdrawn to his region.
Exclusively his region.
Almost no longer coming to Paris and refraining from any intervention or interview of a political nature.
Except to talk about the management of the health crisis.
This withdrawal time is not over.
Like Xavier Bertrand and Valérie Pécresse, the boss of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is waiting to be re-elected in his fiefdom.
But his decision is made: he will resume his place, at the end of June, in the national competition.
With, very clearly, 2022 in sight.
Discreet political meetings, informal media contacts, reflections on the project: Laurent Wauquiez begins to deposit the small stones that will guide the exit of his crossing of the desert.
