"
My conviction, shared for a long time with François Bayrou, is that we will have to build a large French Democratic Party between now and the legislative elections,
" said Stéphane Séjourné.
The boss of the MoDem also relaunched on Saturday the idea of a "
great central political movement
" for the 2022 elections, in an interview in our columns.
“
I see that many initiatives are taken by the majority: on the right, with Édouard Philippe who organizes his networks, with the elected support committees of Sébastien Lecornu, with Agir ensemble by Franck Riester;
and on the left, with Olivier Dussopt and the current Territories of Progress, or even Barbara Pompili
”, noted Stéphane Séjourné.
A "common house", not yet materialized
“
Everyone must continue to speak to their respective audiences to enhance our record for the presidential election. But we must also go further,
”he insisted. The project to build a "
common house
" housing the various partners of the majority has been meandering for two years, but has still not found its operational realization, sometimes due to divergent electoral objectives.
The various re-entry universities - in Guidel (Morbihan) for the Modem on the weekend of September 25; in Avignon for La République en Marche on the weekend of October 2 - could help accelerate projects of rapprochement, eight months before the presidential election. With the JDD, Stéphane Séjourné described the milestones before the presidential election, including the next French presidency of the European Union from January 1, 2022 which should mark the re-election campaign of the Head of State.
“
For twenty years France had deserted the European institutions. It's a good thing that Europe is also talking French again. This is to be welcomed,
"Stéphane Séjourné underlined, specifying that Emmanuel Macron would receive on Monday"
98 European parliamentarians from 22 member states
