Gabriel Attal and Laurent Wauquiez searched for it so well that they found it, Aurélie, her first name. This rebellious MP was elected this Wednesday president of the Economic Affairs Commission of the National Assembly, left vacant by the new tenant of Bercy, Antoine Armand. The Mélenchonists thus double their loot after Éric Coquerel at the finance commission. The chair had little chance of going to Aurélie Trouvé; that was without the legendary capacity for nuisance of the boss of the Republican Right group.
Ignoring the agreement concluded with Gabriel Attal and the Macronists for the distribution of hierarchical positions at the Palais-Bourbon, during the constitution of the Barnier government, the elected official from Haute-Loire demanded the Economic Affairs Commission. The former Prime Minister refused in the name of his word given, further considering that with Matignon, Place Beauvau, Agriculture and other attractive portfolios, the Republicans were sufficiently endowed for a party which only represents 10%. of the hemicycle. Did Gabriel Attal believe that Laurent Wauquiez would not follow through on his threats? If so, he still has a few grams of ingenuity left.
Not only did the Republicans abandon the Macronist candidate in the third round, but one of them voted for Aurélie Trouvé while the rebels, even more than the Lepénists, are a scarecrow to the right and the center. Cynicism has its reasons that reason does not know.
“Did Gabriel Attal believe that Laurent Wauquiez would not follow through on his threats? If so, he still has a few grams of ingenuity left”
An open secret, Gabriel Attal and Laurent Wauquiez are running for the Élysée in 2027 (unless…) and are already opening the slap box until the departure of Emmanuel Macron who no longer likes the first and has never liked the second (reciprocal detestation).
Just after this cappilotade within his coalition – whose solidity we can measure – Michel Barnier said he was “concerned” by the lack of solidarity between the two pillars of his very relative and very fragile majority. As a bonus, his number 2, the Minister of Justice Didier Migaud, openly criticizes the budget allocated to justice. But the Prime Minister promises to “continue to work on cohesion and action on the common base to face the country’s challenges”.
The Savoyard Barnier is certainly not the type to tackle a north face as a dilettante. Given the rope party escorting him, we hope for his sake that he has chosen his helmet and ice ax well.
