“It’s quite sad that a certain number of politicians have reached this point” says Jean-René Cazeneuve after the boycott of Éric Ciotti

“What a distressing spectacle not to go to a meeting organized by the President of the Republic. It’s still quite sad that a certain number of politicians have reached this point!”, reacted Wednesday November 15 on franceinfo Jean-René Cazeneuve, Renaissance deputy for Gers. Tuesday November 14, Éric Ciotti, the boss of the Republicans, refused to go to the meeting of party leaders organized by Emmanuel Macron in Saint-Denis on Friday November 17.

“Dialogue is still the basis of our democracy. If we can’t even dialogue to try to agree on a certain number of priorities that affect our country, frankly, it’s serious”continued the majority member.

“I don’t understand this kind of behavior. I expect better from the Republicans, I expect better from the Socialist Party, which is in the same situation. They are nothing more than a shadow of the parties they were for a very long time “concluded Jean-René Cazeneuve.

Olivier Faure of the Socialist Party and Manuel Bompard of La France insoumise also announced that they would not attend this meeting. If Éric Ciotti will be absent, there will still be an LR around the table with the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher.
