Six years after winning the 2017 presidential election, which he placed under the sign of revolution, Emmanuel Macron has lost his monopoly on doctrine and action. The survival of macronism certainly still depends on its initiator, to whom he remains four years at the Elysée to act and possibly surprise, but it no longer depends on him alone. The fate of this still poorly established political current is gradually slipping from the hands of the President of the Republic to those of those who are preparing for the presidential election of 2027.
No one can say at this stage where the political offensive led by Gérald Darmanin, Sunday August 27 in Tourcoing, will lead, in the name of the necessary consideration of the working classes. Everyone, on the other hand, understood that the meeting organized by the Minister of the Interior, immediately reframed by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, on her northern lands had broken a lock: the succession is open, long live the competition ! In a fortnight, Edouard Philippe will publish a book, places that say (JC Lattès, 250 pages, 21.90 euros), in which he will notably defend a powerful refoundation of the school. Each pebble thrown on the road to 2027 hollowly underlines the shortcomings of the current mandate.
Unveiled warning
Slayer of income and brawler at heart, the Head of State is adjusting to this new deal that he did not plan to face before the European elections of June 2024. The river interview he has granted to the weekly Point in its edition of Thursday August 24 is due both to the obstinate defense of its balance sheet, to the asserted desire to remain on the initiative until the last days of the five-year term and to an undisguised warning intended for those who point the tip of their nose prematurely. “The condition for the values that I carry to endure is that the republican forces work together: the social democrats, the centrists, the ecologists, the liberal right and the republican right. Those who have ambitions should not forget this. It will be necessary in four years to ensure this unity. And it will also be my responsibility. »

We have to go back to the early 1980s and the failure of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing to measure what is at stake today: the sustainability of a central bloc capable of stabilizing the political game and countering the rise of extremes . Despite the numerous attempts at rapprochement between the center left and the center right (remember the discussions between Jacques Delors and François Bayrou in 1994 or between François Hollande and the same François Bayrou in 2012), no project of this type has been able to culminate in the Fifth Republic.
