The leader of the Republicans (LR) deputies, Laurent Wauquiez, called on Thursday for the implementation of “a right-wing policy”, with “more security” and “less immigration”, promising Prime Minister Michel Barnier the “very clear support” of all the parliamentarians of his party.
“The French do not want things to continue as before. They want there to be a break and they want the country to get back on its feet. And our conviction is that in a certain number of areas, we need a right-wing policy so that there are no tax increases, so that there is more security, so that there is less immigration,” explained Laurent Wauquiez after receiving the new tenant of Matignon during the parliamentary days of the right.
Bruno Retailleau salutes a “family man”
“Our commitment will be alongside Michel Barnier to help him ensure that these policies can be implemented,” he added, describing Michel Barnier’s appointment as “excellent news.” The leader of the LR senators, Bruno Retailleau, also welcomed the arrival at Matignon of a “family man,” attributing this choice in particular to the right, which “did everything to avoid having a Prime Minister linked to the left,” according to him.
“From now on, we are certain that we will have a Prime Minister who will not be a collaborator, but a fully-fledged Prime Minister,” he assured after hearing Michel Barnier speak before LR parliamentarians. “The configuration is much closer to cohabitation than to the classic situation we know under the Fifth Republic. This gives him a free hand and allows us to consider support and participation,” he explained.
“Welcome to Matignon”
The Republicans’ leading lights continue to defend the measures of their “legislative pact” set up during the summer and which they hope to see implemented by the future government. A few minutes earlier, Michel Barnier had assured the LR that they would be “welcome at Matignon” and that he “will use” their proposals in his actions at the head of the government. He had also indicated that in his eyes there were “no areas reserved” for the President of the Republic, preferring to speak of “shared areas”, also a way of reassuring his camp on the hypothesis of a close collaboration with Emmanuel Macron.
