No longer say "presidential majority", known as "macronist mosaic".
A new pro-Macron party - the ninth - was born on Wednesday: "Republican Refoundation".
With this formation, the former minister Jean-Pierre Chevènement, its honorary president, intends to extend his old dream:
"to unite the republicans of the two shores"
around the president re-elected on Sunday against Marine Le Pen.

Jean-Pierre Chevènement: "The reasons for my support for Emmanuel Macron"
"My support is not a blank check",
but a way of
"giving Emmanuel Macron every chance to continue his business"
of
"recovery of France"
, declared the left-wing sovereigntist on Wednesday, launching his movement in Paris at a press conference.
With several stated priorities: the
"reconquest of the industrial, energy and agricultural independence of France"
, a
"State strategist"
,
"equal opportunities"
at school, secularism, the
"Europe of nations"
, the rejection of
"budgetary authority"
and the fight against
"wokism".
“Small dozen” legislative candidates
Two months after announcing his support for the Head of State, Jean-Pierre Chevènement wants to involve his friends in the campaign for the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.
A
"small dozen"
of party members will be candidates, announced the president of "Republican Refoundation", the former socialist deputy Jean-Yves Autexier.
Contacts have been made with the President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, while the first nominations of Macronist candidates should be announced next week.
The members of "Refondation republicaine" also hope to attract elected officials who break with the Socialist Party (PS).
In particular those who condemn the negotiations undertaken with the rebels in view of the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.
But Jean-Pierre Chevènement insists: rather than a
"vacuum cleaner"
of socialists, the former minister sees himself as an
"inspiration"
.
