With his accession to Matignon, Bayrou opened the ball, and the last volume of the search for lost time of the last twenty political years. As in Time regained of Proust, they parade before us, aged, their lackluster results sharpening every wrinkle, the ex-hopes of the Chirac, Hollande, Macron years. They first showed their snout in his government, like Valls and Borne. But now here is the floor above, those who are eyeing 2027. And while claiming that they do not want an early presidential election, they are furiously preparing for it, sensing an opportunity: who knows, on a misunderstanding, a matter of suit, a judicial decision, a call to block?
Bayrou resurrected the PS… and François Hollande!
We knew that Bayrou had resurrected the PS, a former government party that had fallen to less than 5%, to save his government. We learned, this Sunday morning, from The Tribunewhich « During this crucial week, François Hollande played an active role behind the scenes “. Leaving the dull Olivier Faure and Boris Vallaud to parade around, he appears two days later as the great puppeteer and relishes the event: “ The socialists now constitute the central pole within the National Assembly, since nothing can be done without them or against them », believing that they “ have the key until 2027 “. It's true, with a few nuances. It is difficult to see the LR right accepting this control of the PS over the government's orientations. And, above all, it is difficult to see how a socialist policy could respond effectively to the problems of France and the French during the two years that separate us from 2027. But, for François Hollande, the main thing is to believe that we have returned to the center of the game parliamentary, bringing the Assembly back to a trivial congress of the Socialist Party – its favorite playground. He was already looking for a mouse hole, in 2017, to be able to represent himself…
Villepin, the pro-Hamas who is eyeing the new people of Mélenchon!
This weekend, another dinosaur resurfaces: Dominique de Villepin. In an interview with Mediapart and to Edwy Plenel – already quite a program… -, the former Prime Minister of Chirac affirms his ambition for 2027: “ This fight, I cannot not participate in it. I can't not be at the forefront. » Which troops does he intend to rely on? His latest flights in favor of the creation of a Palestinian state, in recent months, have opened the doors to the left NFP and LFI, where there is no shortage of praise for him, and the ears of the Muslim electorate in France. Competition seems to be increasing in this niche…
-Édouard Philippe, the most serious?
But this Sunday, a third thief also sent a long postcard to the French, in The Parisian. He is the most popular politician, according to opinion surveys, and the one who has the best chance, if not of winning, at least of competing in 2027. The political fight is a matter of image, and of physique , he ventured into the area of hair: he said to himself “ returned from among the bald “, almost returned to the stage of ” puberty », with natural regrowth. We will undoubtedly see it as a response to Jordan Bardella's new beard. But basically? If he detaches himself from Emmanuel Macron again, he compliments Bruno Retailleau, with whom “ he could work » and still proposes to renegotiate our agreement with Algeria. A right-wing display, while governing with the socialists… A macronism that has gone through alopecia and returned to puberty?
What is striking, in this gang of three, between a socialism from another age, a dangerous Islamo-leftism and a barely repackaged Macronism, is the absence of vision, the dangerousness of the projects and the wear and tear of the suitors. Is France so sclerotic?
