A signal. Or rather, a warning. The laborious vote in the National Assembly of the text aimed at protecting the purchasing power of the French and the amending finance bill supposed to take into account the new deal linked to the war in Ukraine, will leave traces within the majority Presidential. Admittedly, the deputies of the Republicans (LR) seem to be more courted by the government every day, making the left wing of the “Macronie” more and more feverish. Despite its bullying towards the executive, LR made it possible to vote most of the texts and amendments. The right has, it is true, many points of agreement with the program of Emmanuel Macron, which she described as a “copy-paste” of that of their candidate Valérie Pécresse during the presidential campaign.

On the merits, the former mayor of Ajaccio intended to make the government heard that he had to review his way of treating the “territories”. Leaving elected officials, close to the mayors and located in the right center of the political spectrum, Horizons does not intend to feed the discomfort between Emmanuel Macron and the councilors dating from the first five -year term because, in particular, of the suppression of the tax of Housing.
