At the end of the legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron is deadlocked and is forced to reach out to the opposition party leaders, whom he has received. For the time being, Elisabeth Borne is maintained at Matignon.

Two days after the slap received by the presidential majority during the legislative elections, the tenors of all parties paraded at the Elysée on Tuesday, June 21. Emmanuel Macron wants to show that he has understood the message and is trying to consult with his political opponents. Officially, each announces constructive intentions, but the opponents set their conditions. “The group of 89 deputies that I have the honor of chairing is a group that is in opposition but does not wish to be in the filibuster“, concedes Marine Le Pen.

If, for example, on wages, he is ready to raise the minimum wage to 1,500 euros, we are available“, for his part demanded the socialist leader, Olivier Faure. For the Republicans, a time approached, no question of talking about an alliance. “There is no question of betraying those who trusted us. And those who elected us did not elect us to enter into any pact or coalition whatsoever“, decided Christian Jacob, president of the party.
