“I will try to explain to you what we want to do, why we want to do it, how we want to do it and in the end, if you join, we will be happy.” This is how the president of Horizons, Édouard Philippe, announces the launch of a membership campaign for his party in a short “film” in a half-serious, half-quirky tone, published on Friday July 8, on Youtube. “If you don’t agree, we’ll be a little less happy, but we’ll be happy all the same, because we believe in what we’re doing, and we’ll go all the way”adds the former Prime Minister, whose entourage assured franceinfo in mid-June that he is in “permanent campaign” for the presidential election of 2027.
>> Horizons, the party of Edouard Philippe who sees far … and annoys the macronie
“If we want to weigh in a democracy, to weigh democratically, then we have to come together in a party, that’s what we want to do and that’s why we created Horizons”, component of the presidential majority, explains Édouard Philippe. His party won 28 seats in the National Assembly in the June 2022 legislative elections.
Basically, what is Horizons’ objective? It is to build a strategy, because I am convinced that when you want to make a country more prosperous, more confident, more powerful, you have to set a strategy.
Edouard Philippe, president of the Horizons party
“There is not a company, there is not a city, there is not a country that is capable of acting in the long term without a strategy so here, from now on, we are building a strategy “he launches in this video which has nothing to envy to a campaign clip.
Less than two months after the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, Édouard Philippe believes that “in our country, the debate on strategy is almost non-existent”. “We need to talk about education”he also assures, because “an education system that would work much better is the assurance, twenty years later, or ten years later, of renewed or increased power and prosperity”.
“It’s a great adventure, a collective adventure, and if you’re interested in it, think carefully, because it’s beautiful, it will be long and it’s demanding, but it’s the collective adventure at the service of our country, we are determined”he concludes, five years from the next presidential election.
