It is not his "
vision
".
Invited on Europe 1 this Wednesday morning, the High Commissioner for Planning and Modem boss, François Bayrou, did not hesitate to criticize the recent initiative of Édouard Philippe.
The former Prime Minister has indeed launched, in Le Havre this weekend, his new party, “Horizons”, to create what he calls a “
new political offer
”.

"
Maybe there is a difference in appreciation?
“, First pretended to wonder François Bayrou, who does not hide his disagreements with the former prime minister for several weeks.
“
For me, a political party is a great deep current in the country.
It is a sensitivity, a philosophy.
And political parties are not built around an individual destiny
, ”criticized the co-architect of the common house.
“
This is my vision, I entered the political stream that is mine, I was 20 years old.
"
"Everyone is free"
For the centrist mayor of Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), a political party is also the grouping of “
solidarities of people who think the same thing
”, and not “
solidarities built around only one personality
”.
"
But it is a constitutional right to create political parties
", ironically conceded the city councilor.
“
My own vision is a deeper vision.
(...) But everyone is free!
“, He again launched.

Asked about his own presidential ambitions, François Bayrou did not wish to draw "
a final line
" on the subject either. "
I never gave up any of my responsibilities because it's my mission, that's why I'm involved in politics,
" he dodged.
For the time being, however, the High Commissioner does not fail to praise the action of the Head of State.
While an acerbic book (
Le traître et le néant
; Éd. Fayard; Gérard Davet and Fabrice Lhomme) comes out in bookstores this Wednesday and scrutinizes the five-year term of Emmanuel Macron, François Bayrou hammered that "
never maneuvers, little tricks have not occupied the slightest place in the state decisions that have been taken.
""
What I see, what I have seen and what I hear every day is precisely that decisions are made on the basis of issues that go far, that are in the interest of the country
" , he concluded.
