Beaune does not “believe” in a coalition with LR

Should the rest of the five-year term be written with Les Républicains? While rumors of a redesign have swelled for several weeks, the idea of ​​an agreement with the right was put on the table by the authorities of Renaissance. About thirty of its parliamentarians having even met, Wednesday June 21, to examine a possible political reconfiguration. But without any progress emerging between party executives.

The scenario does not seem to convince the Minister of Transport any more, Clement Beaune. “I don’t really believe in it”he swept away, Sunday on the set of “Grand Jury RTL-LCI Le Figaro”.
For this supporter of the left wing of the majority, the right has “showa permanent division” for a year, in particular on the pension reform. “They had told us that they would support without problem. They did not do it.” First considered an ally on this text, Eric Ciotti’s party had finally exposed its dissensions – some deputies having even voted for the cross-partisan censure motion against the government. “I don’t feel like they are much better today”mocked Clément Beaune.

“A common platform”

which does not prevent relative majority to be able to count on the votes of the Republicans. “LR, like other parties, vote with us for texts which have allowed us to move forward as on nuclear power”, recognized the former Minister Delegate for European Affairs. These “compromise” thus made it possible to p “30 texts in Parliament” since the beginning of the legislature. But these alliances of circumstances are not enough to build “a government of national unity”he specified.“This is not the meaning of the discussions we have with LR.Especially since the two camps would not be able, according to him, to agree on “a common platform around five to six texts”. Same story on the right, where the boss of LR deputies, Olivier Marleixrecently closed the door to everything “global agreement with this government”.

If the prospect of an alliance moves away again, Renaissance will however continue to reach out to the Republicans, ured Clément Beaune. “This is the story of our party. We are a central force, we must keep this ability to work with everyone., he defended. And this, even if LR is already brandishing the threat of a motion of censure on immigration or the budget. “It would be particularly unwelcome or irresponsiblewarned the Minister. But they have the right.

While Emmanuel Macron goes Monday to Marseilles for a three-day visit, Clément Beaune also took the opportunity to salute the first essment of the “hundred days” – period “appeat” decreed last April by the Head of State to find “new impetus”.
“What has happened since (…) is significant”welcomed the Minister, taking as an example “the 10 billion euros of investment in transport”. Less than three weeks before the end of the “hundred days”, on July 14, everyone is therefore erting their feats of arms while waiting for a possible reshuffle. “The government is working”hammered Clément Beaune.
