Being or not from the Lecornu government is the dilemma of the Republicans. Behind the scene, several LR elected officials, in particular the senators, are beginning to seriously wonder how good to stay. In his sight: the winks of the prime minister on the left and, on the contrary, they consider, the absence of a signal sent to the right.
It is not a word, for example, about immigration in the first interview of the new prime minister with several titles of the Daily Press Regional last weekend. There is no doubt that they refuse on two issues in which they remain identified by the French: the question of immigration and reducing taxes.
Behind these questions, great fear: especially, do not dissolve in macronism to not associate with the balance sheet and not be responsible in 2027 at the time of the presidential elections. That is why they exert the pressure, starting with Bruno Retilleau, Interior Minister and President of the Republicans, who warns that “there will be automatically” for the government.
Republicans return to business
But leaving the ministries after being deprived of them for twelve years between 2012 and 2024 is not easy. And that is the whole problem of LR. His return to business has rehabilitated a government party in the eyes of the French, who was far from being won.
“We will never thank Macron enough,” jokes in this regard to a law leader who applies that is well paid by a party that has only forty -nine deputies.
But this same executive continues: “You shouldn’t ask too much. When you won the lottery, you don’t fall in addition to the French games.” Nor is it obvious to Bruno Retilleau, who has all the interest in staying in the place of Beauvau, very aware that it is his status as first police in France that allows him to make the French make known, increase his popularity and forge the image and height of a presidential.
“If you lose the entire Interior Minister’s apparatus, it loses everything”, He wants to believe that one of his rivals on the right. And that is why Bruno Retailleau will do everything possible in his position.
