“Since the announcement of the release, I sleep between four and five hours a night! “. Karl Olifi can finally breathe! Re-elected in July in Yvelines, the MP is in full physical preparation to face the “Marathon for All” which will take place next Saturday as part of Paris 2024. From the end of May, he and his team have not worked, on the deck “seven days a week”: “I have not given myself much in the way of an election” calculates the Ensemble pour la République MP.
“Each of the two electoral methods is sad, I still have difficulty agreeing on it” confirmed Ryad Selmani, parliamentary colleague, what more after a European campaign “very and very violent” on the left. Winter or not, the groups of MPs are on alert: “Today we expect politicians to react to everything quickly, under the penalty of being accused of negligence, so we are permanently on guard” , explains another colleague.
“Looks like we’re missing something…”
Karl Olive, for his part, gave himself a few days to rest but still thinks that “his decision does not last in the summer”. He continues to make “video” contributions for news channels from his vacation spot. Just as difficult to live for Philippe Ballard, of RN. “It’s like withdrawal. It was a strange feeling at first. I was making up to eight sets a day! It seems we are missing something…” feels the MP for Oise.
In the National Rally group, WhatsApp loops are active and representatives continue to monitor the news. If the Assembly suspends its work until the beginning of the school year, the former journalist thinks that they “cannot sit no matter what happens” for the events. The Palais Bourbon is actually located on the rue de l’Université, around many Olympic venues such as archery events at Les Invalides, practice at the Grand Palais or even swimming at the Concorde Urban Park.
An RN spokesman wanted time to “worry” about the fate of the men’s handball team after their difficult start to the tournament. Marine Tondelier also took a few moments with her family to support the new Olympic champion, Cassandre Beaugrand, in the middle of a triathlon: “We consoled her while she screamed! “. Guilty passion for triathlon since his partner is a youth coach of the Henin Beaumont club (Pas-de-Calais). “I am the type to wake up at 4 in the morning for a 110m hurdles, and that does not stop me from being a critic of the social and environmental purpose of these Olympic Games,” specifically about geography.
On the left, there is no Olympic break
For this time it is another long race led by the general secretary of the Scientists. In mid-July, the New Popular Front called for an appointment with Lucie Castets to Matignon, on the eve of the Olympic holiday wanted by Emmanuel Macron. “This panic has come out of nowhere, it’s a very simple excuse. Why did the president release him if he was so dangerous a few days before the Olympics? » thought Marine Tondelier. So the NFP forces continue to occupy the site as they did last Wednesday, in a trip to the Duralex factory: “The French showed their will during the election. Now they are going on vacation and it is normal! It is up to us to prove that it works! » evaluates the elected representative of Henin Beaumont.
There is no rest either for his NFP colleague, Antoine Léaument who continues to go to his office in the Assembly for his weekly Twitch live: “Holidays, we love it, but the fight comes first because it affects thousands of people. We don’t want to disappoint our voters, we want Lucie Castets. » And rest? “We’ll see one day, maybe,” laughed the rebel.
But how can we succeed in getting the French interested in politics when they are so passionate about the sports of the Blues? “Olympics or no Olympics, people are often less interested in politics during the summer. It is our duty to create hope around Lucie Castets to make it important to the President”, said Antoine Léaument who did not forget to keep a close look at the medal table because “I like it when France wins” he added.
“The President has put us in a very old age”
“We have to hand it to the French, they did their job by going to the polls, now it’s up to us to work to move the country forward! » continued Karl Olive. The captain of the parliamentary football team even considered the upcoming political start in a very metaphorical way: “A sport does not start at the beginning, it is already prepared, from the locker room. There we are again in the locker room and my little finger tells me that the future Prime Minister is already working on the composition of his team to enter the field.
The start of this parliamentary “match” should be given the day after the end of the Olympic Games, between August 11 and 15 according to information from Le Parisien. And the climate is already worrying: “I am afraid that the environment of excitement that we have experienced in the last two years is nothing compared to what awaits us in the coming months,” the councilor a legislator on the left. “The President has put us in a lot of trouble and the Assembly will probably be frozen for a year. It will be complicated to go forward and we will all pay for that…” concluded Philippe Ballard of National Rally. Everyone, in any case, still has a few days to rest.
