Legislative elections 2024: Emmanuel Macron abandoned by the presidential majority?
(Franceinfo)
The dissolution freed up speech in the presidential majority. Several politicians now seem to distance themselves from Emmanuel Macron including Edouard Philippe, Bruno Lemaire but also Gabriel Attal.
If rumors in the corridors reported animosity between Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe, the dissolution of the National Assembly freed the former Prime Minister to speak minister. “My goal is not to build the old presidential majority, it is on the contrary to build a new presidential majority.” declares the mayor Horizons of Le Havre.
The Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Lemaire depicts a president under influence: “The floors of ministries and palaces of the Republic are filled with woodlice.” For his part, the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, reminds during the presentation of the majority’s program and his public outings that this is not a presidential election. Thus, the real issue of these legislative elections will indeed be to know who will be the new Prime Minister.
