A mixed feeling reigned this Tuesday among party leaders following the meeting with Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée.
“Things have progressed rather” on an “exchange of good practices”, declared PS boss Olivier Faure at the outlet. According to him, the idea would be that “the government renounces 49.3”, a constitutional tool to pass in force in the National Assembly, “in exchange for which the oppositions would renounce a motion of censure”.
The leader of the Republican Right deputies, Laurent Wauquiez, also said he hoped for an “agreement to at least not bring down a government”, while excluding a “government contract with people with whom we do not share the same values” .
But the head of the Ecologists Marine Tondelier tempered this optimism by deploring that the presidential camp was not ready for “no compromise, no concession”. And, in reality, no one commented on Tuesday on their possible participation, or their possible more or less tacit support, in the future government.
