The deadline is approaching and the discussions continue. Prime Minister Michel Barnier gathered on Wednesday afternoon in Matignon the presidents of the parliamentary groups that have members within his government, to prepare the announcement of his general policy which will take place on October 1.

Less than a week after their reception in Matignon on September 19 while making his government, Michel Barnier also set to meet the leaders of the parties he supports, from Gabriel Attal (Together for the Republic) to Laurent Wauquiez (Les Républicains) ), by MoDem Marc Fesneau, Laurent Marcangeli (Horizons) or UDI Hervé Marseille.

“It was a broad and constructive meeting,” one of the participants told AFP, even if another source told AFP of the “unsettled atmosphere” between the head of state and his predecessor Gabriel Attal, the leader of the Renaissance delegation.

The discussion is focused only on the preparation of the general declaration (DPG), which Michel Barnier “does not want to catalog”, underlined one of the participants. “Everyone has set their priorities. He listens,” added the same source, specifying that among the topics put on the table are mainly taxes, finances, New Caledonia and the fight against drug trafficking.

The head of the LR delegation Laurent Wauquiez asked for “a very strong signal for France which works” in Tuesday’s speech and that the debate on the budget only concerns taxes and not savings, his parties indicated to AFP. In the wrong support for the Minister of the Interior LR Bruno Retailleau, speaking within the Macronist camp for his right-wing proposals since he took office, Laurent Wauquiez called for “getting out of the game of positions on security”, in believing that “it is” All French people want. “

The interview with Michel Barnier and the funders of his “common ground” took place the day after the first hiccups between his authority and the reform of the Minister of Economy Antoine Armand, who had first worked with the RN. The prime minister called Marine Le Pen (RN) to resign his cabinet, causing an uproar on the left and dismay among some Macronists. He then reminded Antoine Armand of the rules established since his appointment to Matignon, “namely respect for the voters and respect for the political leaders who are represented in the Parliament”, underlining those around him .

On the President of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), David Lisnard refers to the proposals of the Minister of Ecological Change, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Monday on France 5 where he said the floods that hit Cannes on Sunday to “water security and densification of cities”.
