“It is not a question of holding a huge meeting but of showing that we are giving perspective, that we are both in action and in reflection”
, sums up a senior officer of the majority.
"The idea is to resume work on the merits"
, confirms a framework of La République en Marche (LREM).
The event must bring together LREM and its allies - Democratic Movement (MoDem), Territories of Progress, In Common, Agir and Horizons.
In addition to François Bayrou, who initiated the meeting, as well as Richard Ferrand and Stanislas Guerini, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe is also expected there.
A way to show his return to the bosom of the “common house”, in which he temporarily suspended his participation last week after the abortive merger between his Horizons party and the Agir movement.
All against a backdrop of arm wrestling with the President of the Republic.
Macron "is one France ahead" of the other candidates, according to Guerini
With less than 75 days to go before the presidential election, Macronist leaders want to clear the programmatic ground and prepare a political landing strip for the day Emmanuel Macron decides to formalize his candidacy.
The conclusions of their discussion should therefore be made available to the outgoing president to feed the project he has begun to draw in small impressionistic touches in recent weeks.
“
In the upcoming presidential election, our fellow citizens need to see the France of tomorrow take shape.
The president is the only one to project the country.
He is one France ahead of his opponents
, ”explained the boss of LREM, Stanislas Guerini, in an interview with
Le Figaro
in early January.
