This time, all the main party leaders responded.
From the Insoumis Manuel Bompard to the RN Jordan Bardella, via Olivier Faure (PS), Éric Ciotti (LR), or even the ecologist Marine Tondelier.
All invited this Thursday, March 7, from 10:30 a.m. at the Élysée, around Emmanuel Macron for a meeting in “Rencontres de Saint-Denis” format.
The third of its kind since the first invitation, at the end of last summer.
But a return to the discussion table, since the previous edition, mid-November, ended in a boycott by some of them.
“It’s proof that it works, since everyone has decided to come back,” gushes a close friend of the Head of State on the eve of this new meeting.
Even.
Because if everyone agreed to come, it is to fight over the agenda set by Emmanuel Macron: the question of France's support in Ukraine, and particularly the security agreement signed with Kiev on February 16, for which a debate (with consultative vote) is planned for March 12 and 13 in the Assembly and the Senate.
A subject that is debated in the political class, even more so since the president's controversial comments on a possible sending of Western troops to Ukraine.
Position that he reaffirmed this Tuesday from Prague, where he urged his counterparts to “not be cowardly” in the face of an “unstoppable” Russia.
