National Council for Refoundation: the birth of Emmanuel Macron’s project is painful

“They’re not going to close it anyway?! breathes an LREM deputy, flabbergasted, on learning that the launch of the National Council for Refoundation (CNR), by Emmanuel Macron this Thursday in Marcoussis (Essonne), would be held behind closed doors. This Walker can not believe it – and he is not the only one in Macronie – as the news seems contradictory with the promise of an exercise in “transparency”, aimed at “revitalizing” democracy, advocated by its defenders. “In a logic of trust, we asked all the participants what they wanted and there was no consensus for it to be filmed and public”, argues the Elysée.
