From a sentence, Emmanuel Macron’s party becomes a word. “Today we are initiating a movement to rebuild La République en Marche, in order to be able to continue to expand this political movement created by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron a little over six years ago, in a political party that will bear the name of Renaissance”, indicated the general delegate of the party, Stanislas Guerini.
A party intended to “be faithful to the will of the President of the Republic” which is “always to make the choice of Enlightenment against obscurantism” and “faithful to what we are doing on the European scene”, he insisted, adding that it will be “open to citizens, elected officials, local elected officials wherever they come from” and “to current and future partners of the presidential majority”.
After “Together”, “Renaissance”
He was speaking at a joint press conference in Paris with Richard Ferrand, LREM president of the National Assembly, François Bayrou (MoDem) and Édouard Philippe (Horizons) who announced a confederation called “Together” bringing together these three parties of the presidential majority in view of the legislative elections.
In view of the ballots of June 12 and 19, Horizons has obtained 58 candidates while François Bayrou’s MoDem will have between 101 and 110. Of the 577 seats to be filled in the National Assembly, LREM should for its part present around 400 candidates, following an executive office at midday.
