The Renaissance presidential party, led since December by former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, intends to “build a path” between now and the presidential election in 2027 and to do so launch states general and thematic conventions, with a major meeting between now and spring.
In the context of a National Assembly without a clear majority, and a “game of parties which can be deleterious”, the party founded by Emmanuel Macron in April 2016 wants to have “a role of shock absorber, clarity and stability” , with the “deliberate choice to have constructive discussions” with the government on the budget “without displaying its red lines”, detailed its representatives during a press point.
The desire to embody “a clear political line”
However, the Macronist formation, which still claims to “overcome” the right and the left, has “not given up on embodying a clear and offensive political line” and on “building a path during the next two years to propose a future for the country,” we added.
He will launch “general states” which will take the form of “500 events” from January 13 to February 16, and will be the “cornerstone” of his “refoundation”, as well as programmatic work.
This will include “understanding why” the party, defeated in the June legislative elections, is “losing momentum” with a number of members – officially greater than 8,500 – which “is not satisfactory”, and “d 'open all the drawers', we promise.
Campaigns to “identify” the party
Renaissance plans to launch militant campaigns “regularly”, with a first “next week” so that the French can “identify” the party.
-A big meeting is also being prepared for “the end of winter and the beginning of spring”.
On the programmatic level, the movement will “restart from scratch all the structuring issues”, with three thematic conventions: on a “French New Deal” with the idea of going “a notch further” on the economic and social level than Emmanuel Macron's record which remains “a source of pride”; on the “regalian model” (immigration, separatism, juvenile justice); and on the ecological transition.
Reluctance to return to pension reform
The group of Macronist deputies Together for the Republic, also chaired by Gabriel Attal, will also carry out programmatic work, in “complementarity” with the party, on questions more linked to current events: pensions with Stéphanie Rist, immigration with Mathieu Lefèvre, and proportional with Pierre Cazeneuve.
On pensions, which Prime Minister François Bayrou proposes to discuss again, “the parameters can be discussed” but “any reform which deteriorates the budgetary balance would be inappropriate”, warned the party.
The movement is also preparing for the municipal elections of 2026, but is not “counting on early legislative elections”.
