A Sphinx. Hervé Marseille, the president of the centrist group in the Senate and the UDI did not wish to spoil the content of the meeting which was held yesterday by video. According to Le Parisien, the subject of the discussions concerned the voting instructions in the event of an RN-LFI duel or triangulars. And Emmanuel Macron would have seemed to favor the “neither-nor” line, sending the New Popular Front and the National Rally back to back.
“There are no instructions. There is no strategy other than that which must prevail in the first round, that is to say favoring the vote in favor of the Ensemble pour la République candidates. […] We have not yet voted, so there is no decision yet to know what will happen after the first round,” declared Hervé Marseille.
The newspaper Le Monde has carried out several investigations emphasizing the major role of Emmanuel Macron’s memory advisor, Bruno Roger-Petit, but also of the former LR senator, Pierre Charon in the choice of this dissolution. Close to Pierre Charon, Hervé Marseille weakly denied this. “It’s quite incredible to credit one man and even one person for bringing this case. The President of the Republic, like all Presidents, can listen to a certain number of people and then he takes responsibility for his decision. “It’s not a personality that can impose on him.”
