In his office at the National Assembly, Olivier Marleix has a poster of Georges Pompidou. In addition to a certain idea of ​​​​the greatness of France, the president of the LR group shares with the former President of the Republic the fact of having many critics within his political family. At the head of a scattered group of 62 “autoentrepreneur” deputies, Olivier Marleix is ​​criticized by some for his too intransigent line with the executive, by others for his too conciliatory strategy with the government, in particular during the episode of pensions.
