While his second term began less than six months ago, Emmanuel Macron sees the suitors for his succession jostling at the gate. Among them, two of his active ministers.
On Wednesday August 31, Emmanuel Macron received all the tenors of his political party. And for the first time, his succession is mentioned. Although there are still five years left before the next presidential elections, some Macronist candidates are already expressing their presidential ambitions. This is the case of the former Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, which encourages the French to join his party. According to a minister, Edouard Philippe valued that “Macronism will not survive Macron.”
Two ministers in the race
Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, is also expected to take up the torch from Emmanuel Macron, while remaining in the wake of his president, unlikeEdouard Philippe. He too minister, Gérald Darmanin, in charge of internal affairs, intends to invite himself into the race. Especially since according to an adviser to the Elysée, “Macron noted that it was essential.“No matter the candidate, Macron wants to avoid one thing: the election of Marine Le Pen, the only thing that will be remembered from his ten years in power, according to a tenor of the majority. The race to succeed Emmanuel Macron has begun, but the president intends to get involved.
