Politics: En Marche becomes Renaissance

It’s a turn, formalized by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, Saturday, September 17, to the applause of activists. “Today we have come together to form our party, Renaissance, a name full of meaning.” A classic entity, far from the original idea of ​​Emmanuel Macron. In 2016, the future president wanted to erase the logic of the political party. “We are going to create a new political movement, which will be neither on the right nor on the left”, he announced.

With this new organization, activists will have to pay a membership fee, and will no longer be allowed to join another party. A transformation to allow Macronie to anchor itself in time and to structure itself, particularly in the territories. In sight: 2027. Because the new boss of Renaissance, Stéphane Séjourné, will have the task, among other things, of preparing the succession of Emmanuel Macron.
