Emmanuel Macron sets a “loyal” meeting with his opponents
“Converge without denial or renunciation”. Emmanuel Macron formalized his invitation to political parties for a large meeting on Wednesday August 30 in order to work on decisions that go beyond divisions, but the left is already indignant at an agenda that it considers incomplete. Party leaders are invited to an afternoon of discussions and a dinner.
The goal is to build ” together “ legislative texts and pave the way, “if applicable”, to referendums, writes the Head of State in a letter addressed to the parties. By successive keys, the Head of State thus sets to music “the major political initiative” announced in the middle of summer to get out of the deadlocks in the National Assembly, where his government is coming up against the lack of an absolute majority.
“When the best interests of the country are at stake, I have confidence, like many French people, in our ability to converge without denial or renunciation”writes Emmanuel Macron in this letter also sent to the presidents of the assemblies.
Discussions will focus on “the international situation and its consequences for France”, “the effectiveness of public action” including new avenues of decentralization and institutional reforms, and “the cohesion of the Nation”he adds.
After wanting to dismiss the National Rally (RN) and France insoumise (LFI), the Elysée changed its mind and finally invited these two formations that the macronie nevertheless judges out of “the republican arch”. “It’s a loyal outstretched hand”he insists in his letter, referring to the rapid development of legislative texts. “The people, through the voice of their representatives and, if necessary, by referendum, will have the last word”.
