Former President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand calls on the Macronist majority and “all political forces that define themselves as republican” Has “reciprocal concessions”at the risk of “democratic suicide”Sunday, June 18, in Le Figaro.
This very close to Emmanuel Macron believes that“a moment of national unity must be sought on a few objectives, each keeping its identity and putting off its future ambitions for a few years”.
A year after his re-election, Mr. Macron, who only has a relative majority in the Assembly and must find circumstantial allies for each text, could he strike an agreement with Les Républicains, like some in his camp suggest?
“All the political forces that define themselves as republicans are partners of the President of the Republic. We need collective regroupment and peaceful debates”answers M. Ferrand, himself from the Socialist Party.
Active behind the scenes
“Those who bet on their sole ability to harm the action of the president and the government are scuttling themselves. This applies to Republicans as well as to reformists from all walks of life.he also warns, scratching “those who imagine preparing for the future without acting, in the present, in the service of the country”.
Beaten in his constituency of Finistère in the legislative elections of 2022, Mr. Ferrand has not spoken publicly since, but remains active behind the scenes, in an unofficial advisory role to the president and the government.
The name of this first-time “walker”, however, has recently returned to the press, as rumors of a reshuffle swirl, replacing Elisabeth Borne at Matignon.
“I’m more of a veteran than a wannabe”, he observes in a pirouette. Adding: “When it comes to rumours, anything that flatters the ego should be viewed with caution and recognition. »
