Courted by the presidential camp to form a majority in the Assembly, the Republicans refuse for the time being any pact, but at the same time want to play their role of arbiter.

For most of the 61 Republican deputies elected on Sunday June 19, their frank and uncompromising opposition to Emmanuel Macron was one of the essential reasons for their victory. What make it difficult to now help the President of the Republic to break the impasse by voting his laws during the quinquennium, explains journalist Julien Nény. “It’s not up to us to save Emmanuel Macron“, said in particular the number 3 of the party, the Lotois deputy Aurélien Pradié.

The Republicans also have no strategic interest in serving as a lifeline for the head of state, even though they have not been at the head of the government for 10 years now. “As entrusted to me [mardi] morning a veteran of the Republicans in a castrating metaphor‘Macron is a double eunuch: not only does he no longer have a majority, but in addition he will no longer be able to represent himself in 2027′”, says Julien Nény.
