After several days of procrastination, Renaissance has decided. THE JDD will be boycotted until further notice by the deputies of the presidential majority according to The Parisian. Sylvain Maillard, leader of the group in the National Assembly, urged his colleagues not to respond to requests from the weekly now run by the former boss of Current valuesGeoffrey Lejeune.
“Let’s look at the editorial line of the next editions to see if it is as worrying as that of the first issue. In the meantime, I ask you not to participate in articles of this Sunday newspaper “, he would have written to his colleagues via the loop of the deputies.
The replacement for Aurore Bergé wants to avoid a commotion, like that of last week. The Secretary of State in charge of the City, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, had granted an interview to the newspaper, which had divided the government.
“We can talk about everything, but not with anyone”
Thus, the Minister Delegate for Transport, Clément Beaune, wanted to mark his difference with his colleague. “We can talk about everything, but not with anyone,” he said, echoing the indignation of part of the left but also of the deputies of the majority. In the ranks of Renaissance, some evoke a political fault or “bullshit”.
