Majority: after hiccups and hiccups, summer to patch things up

Tuesday August 2. By the admission of an elected official, the hitches of the past weeks have “left traces” within the majority, especially between the Walkers and the troops of Édouard Philippe. A few days before the summer break, the Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, attends for the first time of the term of office the meeting of the Horizons group at the Palais-Bourbon. “We must consolidate the relationship of trust between the groups of the majority and with the executive, we need reciprocity”, plant the elected representative of Val-d’Oise, Naïma Moutchou. “Completely agree”, replies the head of government. Bittersweet… ? Moutchou sees it rather as “proof of the Prime Minister’s openness”, welcoming a gesture likely to “purge disputes”. Or how to take advantage of the summer to try to pick up the pieces, before a steep return to school.
