. The new statutes of LREM were adopted by 87% of members, Saturday, September 17, during the congress of the presidential movement at the Carrousel du Louvre, in Paris. The corpus of values appealed to 96% of members, and governance 83%.
Some 25,000 to 26,000 members were called upon, from Friday to Saturday noon, to vote on these three themes.

Unity and overcoming is what I want to give tonight
said Emmanuel Macron in a video broadcast during the congress. We have been able to reconcile so many women and men who until then did not work together
and it is united and gathered that we will open a new chapter in the political life of our country
also declared the Head of State, now Honorary President of Renaissance.

The presidential election in sight
The new statutes of the party, which has claimed up to 400,000 members without obligation to contribute, should introduce paid membership, as well as ballots for local representatives, an expected point in a party that has shown great difficulty in establishing itself. at local level.
If the party will have vocation to present a candidate
at the Élysée – Emmanuel Macron not being able to stand again – he will also have to get along with the autonomous components of the majority: the Modem of François Bayrou, and Horizons of the former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe.
Renaissance will have a lot to do, especially in the Assembly, where the presidential camp only holds a relative majority. After an extraordinary summer session without major clashes, the autumn menu promises to be complicated: bills on unemployment insurance, on renewable energies and orientation bill of the Ministry of the Interior, before the big back-to-school business: the budget.

The debates of the PLFSS are likely to ignite with the hypothesis of an inclusion of the pension reform, mentioned Monday by the president.
