Two days after the second round and the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, it is time for strategy among the various political parties in order to face the next legislative election deadline. Meeting on Tuesday, April 26, the Republicans reaffirmed their independence.

Go it alone or play the game of alliances at the risk of denying yourself? The Republicans met on Tuesday April 26 to establish their strategy in the face of this difficult choice for the coming weeks. And it’s through the voice of the president of the Republicans, Christian Jacob that the party has ratified its independence and its wish not to form alliances with the other parties for the legislative elections.

A strategy adopted by the majority by the group with nevertheless two notable abstentions, that of the former candidate for the primary Philippe Juvin, and that of the president of the group at the assembly, Damien Abad, already at the heart of speculation on his possible entry into government. In the background, a new fear of seeing many LR deputies turn to the ranks of Emmanuel Macron, as was the case with Édouard Philippe, Bruno Le Maire or Gérald Darmanin for the previous term.
