Roland Lescure, new hypothesis for the position, criticized by the right
Emmanuel Macron would have received Roland Lescure this Wednesday, December 11 at the Élysée on the sidelines of the presentation of the Legion of Honor to a Quebec entrepreneur, Serge Godin announces Le Figaro. Lescure pleads for a “coalition of the reasonable” . Former member of the PS, he has been a Macronist deputy since 2017 and former Minister Delegate in charge of Industry and Energy in the Borne then Attal governments.
The hypothesis Roland Lescure would face a revolt from the Macronist right wing but also from the LR. Behind the scenes, they would rather show their support for François Bayrou. ” If the president appoints Lescure, it’s a break “, says a senior MoDem officer. According to our colleagues, his father, a former communist, would help create a bridge with the non-Melenchonist left.
The RN also poses as a fierce opponent of his appointment, with Marine Le Pen describing him privately as a man of “unbelievable arrogance”, “the worst of economic macronism ” et “the worst of leftism on immigration”.
