most of the Renaissance deputies have already turned the page from Elisabeth Borne to Matignon

It is almost a group psychotherapy, even a survival course so much the Macronist deputies have the morale in the socks. They were already not blazing, the use of 49-3 finished them. Almost everyone wanted the pension reform to be put to the vote. By refusing the obstacle at the last moment, Elisabeth Borne frankly angered them.

Since then, many of them have been jostled and sometimes even threatened in their constituencies. And they’ve been dragging their spleen for two weeks. A lunch, then an afternoon of work together will not be too much to try to find colors.

Most have even already turned the page from Elisabeth Borne to Matignon. The Renaissance deputies hardly believe in the ability of the Prime Minister to regain room for manoeuvre, or even to broaden the contours of the majority. The political consultations she is conducting this week do not raise much hope. His interview with the unions tomorrow no more. There is an atmosphere of the end of the reign. And many parliamentarians are betting on a reshuffle that would occur, after the decision of the Constitutional Council, between April 15 and May 15.

Don’t want to go back to the polls

This would not necessarily be enough to boost the morale of the deputies of the majority. But at least a reshuffle would bring some semblance of order as the government’s communication sows doubt within the group. And sometimes even consternation, such as the initiative taken by Marlène Schiappa to speak and pose in Playboy.

Only here, as confided a Renaissance deputy on Monday April 3, how to reproach the Secretary of State for her communication when the example comes from above. Since Emmanuel Macron chose to grant an interview to Conk… In a vertical system where almost everything comes from above, that is to say from the Élysée, the slightest failure at the top has repercussions at the base. Finally, there is at least one recent choice of Emmanuel Macron who has many happy people within the Renaissance group. Obviously, the Head of State has no intention of dissolving the Assembly. And given the political climate, not a single member of the majority wanted to return to the polls at this time.
