Emmanuel Macron overturned the table in 2017, by being elected on a political promise that transcends dividing lines, that of “at the same time”. At nine months of the presidential election, "
we must continue the political overtaking and expand even more
," urges Christophe Castaner, called Friday "Talk Le Figaro". Himself from the ranks of the Socialist Party, he joined Emmanuel Macron, "
to find a form of freedom, which our country needs
," one that his political family did not allow it, he said. This is also the main criticism made by the president of the LREM group to the National Assembly against the traditional parties, the fact
"To impose a doctrine, a dogma, to spend more time looking at the navel than making proposals for the future"
.
While traditionally a president is elected on the basis of his reduced electorate, upon re-election his electorate is enlarged.
In the case of En Marche !,
"we made the enlargement from the start"
, underlines the former Minister of the Interior, in particular with the choice of Édouard Philippe, from LR, as Prime Minister.

Should Emmanuel Macron fear the left or the right more for 2022? "
We see that the left is very fragmented today and that it has a huge leadership problem
," said the former socialist. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who was in the lead on the left during the last presidential election, does not seem to worry the majority for the upcoming election.
"He is a problem for himself, a burden for his own political movement

"it is because he is the only one of the declared right-wing candidates

"
points out the former minister. When the time comes, "
we will remind him that he was Minister of Labor for five years, when France experienced the strongest explosion in unemployment
”.
If the LREM party seems to be struggling,
"we must be lucid, we have not achieved the territorial rooting that we would have liked, but this movement is young"

"the progressive candidate, perhaps Emmanuel Macron, towards the presidential election"
.
There are ten months of
"action" left
, after having
"repaired the country",

" he insists.
While guaranteeing freedoms in the country,
"let us modify the law provisionally"
, proposes the elected official who defends a vaccination obligation for the nursing staff and their entourage.
