The series of discussions that are due to begin on Friday between Emmanuel Macron and the leaders of parties and parliamentary groups is welcome, according to the president of the Horizons group in the National Assembly. “The time has come to leave the resigning government”estimates Wednesday August 21 on franceinfo Laurent Marcangeli.

Laurent Marcangeli says that a single bloc cannot govern the country and that his party is “ready” has “to transcend, to go beyond [son] camp to be able to form a unity government, as broad as possible, in order to avoid the paralysis of the country”The president of the Horizons group in the National Assembly recalls that respect for institutions presupposes that “The President of the Republic appoints the head of government” and not that the parliamentary groups impose a candidacy.

On the proposal of the New Popular Front to appoint Lucie Castets, Laurent Marcangeli considers that “this way of doing things”is not “not serious”. “We need to open up and form much broader coalitions.”he continues. Asked about the names of Xavier Bertrand, president of the Hauts-de-France regional council, Jean-Louis Borloo, several times ministers on the right, and Bernard Cazeneuve, former socialist Prime Minister, for Matignon, the Horizons deputy adds that these three names “inspire respect”. “They are, in my opinion, among those who can exercise responsibilities at the highest level since they have already done so.”he adds.

Beyond the question “who to govern”the Horizons MP especially invites us to ask ourselves “why do”prioritizing the budget issue. He advocates for “a minimalist pact” of government, in which would appear “a budget that takes the situation into account [d’endettement] in which the country is located”but also proposals on juvenile justice, the fight against organised crime and the creation of a repentant status.
