It is again Richard Ferrand who receives.
This Wednesday at 9:30 pm, the President of the National Assembly invites several of the artisans of the “common house” to the Hôtel de Lassay.
This future entity is supposed to bring together the formations and sensitivities of the presidential majority, in particular in the perspective of the legislative nominations.
In recent days, exchanges have intensified to get out of the rut and move from declarations of intention to action.
"The phones are heating up," slips one of the players in the negotiations.
Collective discussions must be concluded in the coming days.
A significant guest has planned to come: Édouard Philippe, who had not participated in the last small committee discussions.
It is in particular on the place of his political party Horizons that the discussions between participants come up against.
The Modem of François Bayrou, historical ally of LREM, intends to keep a prominent place and pushes the fires since the start of the school year.
While the former Prime Minister, who also wants to weigh with his movement recently launched in Le Havre, appears less going.
To make matters worse, the two men hardly appreciate each other, moreover.
A launch scheduled for November 28?
"With this meeting, it is a question of finalizing the content, the organization, the governance", explains, optimistically, a heavyweight of the majority. In addition to Horizons, representatives of Agir, Modem and LREM should be present. Those of "Territories of progress" and "In common" could also be invited, according to some sources.
The objective is to achieve "before Christmas", adds another.
A launch with great fanfare was even mentioned by some on November 28 at Mutuality.
"One option among others," we elude within the presidential party.
In the entourage of Édouard Philippe, we are surprised, however, that a date circulates without having been concerted.
And even though the contours of the future movement are far from being arbitrated.
“It would not be useless to warn Édouard Philippe, squeaks one of his relatives.
Especially since it will be his birthday that day.
He might be busy ... "
