Emmanuel Macron roadmate, socio-liberal spent in the life of the elected official, former Industry Minister Roland Lescure returns to Bercy with this time the much broader portfolio of Minister of Economy and Finance, in a very uncertainly internationally uncertain context as in France.
At 58, this son of a journalist in humanity and a Ratp CGT trade unionist, the “liberal” label at the economic level, opposite as any good macronist to “increase the cost of work of work” is easily assumed. But paradox: it is classified in the left wing of the Renaissance.
Illustration at the end of 2023: it opposed the immigration law in its very correct version adopted in Parliament. However, to the point of being listed as a “rebel” of a government that does not leave.
Other opponents of the law blame it. “The guy has always managed to have a position,” says a deputy. “It was not seen at all as a rebel,” a member of the Macronista group stars.
His positions, however, predict the muscular discussions with the Republicans: “It is a big problem. It carries the reverse line of Brunoinleau about immigration,” we were blowing in 2024 in the entourage of the Interior Minister, when the name Roland Lescure was circulating in Matignon.
Roland Lescure reproached Bruno Retilleau from “FA (re) Poutoso to Marine Le Pen”.
Opposition to RN
The vice president of the Assembly, identifiable to his large size, the Franco-Canadian had not been withdrawn to the Barnier government, which he also considered the right and depending on the RN.
The opening of the factories “is an anti-ocean weapon, Anti-Reh,” believes that it is easily offensive against the lepénista party, which called Marine Le Pen as “Machiavelli at small feet” when she was pressing the Barnier government.
“It is Macronie’s quintessence what we hate. He believes himself the most beautiful, the strongest, the most intelligent,” grows a high lepenist range.
A union source is recognized by a “great listening with trade union organizations.” The former PCF deputy, Sébastien Jumel, described in 2022 a “non -twisted” man, perhaps “thanks to the” communist parents “, believing that” for the rest, he was wrong. “
Father of three children, the grandson of Pierre Lescure, founder of Editions of Minuit, was raised in an HLM in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis).
Half brother of the former chief of Canal+ Pierre Lescure, graduated from Polytechnic, the National Statistics School and the London School of Economics. He worked in Bercy, the European Commission and Insee, before a race in finance (Natixis, Groupama).
He saw an ephemeral experience in the PS in 2006, discouraged by internal operation. In 2009, it was the number 2 of the Quebec deposit and placement fund, with a salary of the request of the millions of euros.
“Commercial War”
In 2012, during a meeting of foreign investors, he met a certain Emmanuel Macron. Four years later he immerses himself in politics, concerned with Brexit and the choice of Donald Trump.
Seduced by Emmanuel Macron’s proEuropean positioning, he was chosen attached to 2017 for the French of North America, and presided over the Economic Affairs Committee.
He also experienced failures, not taking the lead in the LREM group, or the presidency of the Assembly in 2022, however, with the support of Emmanuel Macron.
10 years in Canada retains some anglicisms and the ideas you would like to raise in France (legalization of cannabis to control it better, reopen the debate on ethnic statistics to fight discrimination).
More recently, he considers the EU-USA agreement on customs prices as “an admission of historical weakness (…) we lost the commercial war before we even dared to drive it.”
Then call “protect our European market through a common industrial policy”, and an “anti-coercion agreement that makes it possible to put prices in the GAFAM”, which left the social network X, “propaganda tool” in January.
It also opposes Zucman’s tax, but requires PS concessions to the edge of high -risk budgetary debates.
“For the Socialists, and it will be essential, it will have victories, we will have to have defeats,” philosophy in September in Franceinfo.
