the electric atmosphere within the parties

Who to rebuild the Republicans, after three defeats in the presidential elections? On the weekend of September 4, in Angers (Maine-et-Loire), the candidates for the succession of Christian Jacob put forward their arguments. In the race: Éric Ciotti, deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes, and Bruno Retailleau, boss of the senators Lare Rpublicans ​(LR). Both do not want a leadership war in an already weakened party. Aurélien Pradié, General Secretary LRscould also arise.

In the Socialist Party, the tone rises on the union of the left. Former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve launches in the Journal du Dimanche a call to rebuild the left in the face of the danger that, according to him, the Nupes represents. “The left is under the domination of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the management of the PS has allowed itself to be dogged”, did he declare. Avoiding disunity is also the objective of the National Rally. Members are called upon to choose a new president. For the first time, it will not bear the name Le Pen. The new president of the party will be appointed on 5th November next.
