Five months before the presidential election, a dozen majority leaders agreed on Wednesday evening to join forces in a new movement, “Together citizens!”, Which will be launched in the coming weeks, according to information from the political service of franceinfo . This movement will also validate the nominations for the legislative elections.
After several weeks of incessant meetings, the majority are in order of battle. A dozen majority leaders gathered on Wednesday around 9:30 p.m. for a dinner that lasted for more than four hours at the Hôtel de Lassay, at the table of the President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand. On the menu, the birth of this presidential movement bringing together all the components of the majority: LREM, the Modem, Agir and also the new party of Édouard Philippe, Horizons.
This meeting “went very well”, told franceinfo Olivier Becht, president of the Agir group, in unison with the other members of the majority. “It is about building a movement of combat for the next elections”, we explain within the MoDem. “Nobody has the means to go it alone. We will see later how to give birth to the central party of the next ten years”.
There is no question at this stage of a merger between the components of the majority, but the convergence is not only symbolic. “Together Citizens!” will have a real legal existence and will validate all nominations for the legislative elections. The logo of this new movement was quickly presented during this dinner by François Bayrou, the boss of Modem.
