Emmanuel Macron invites to the Élysée Palace this Tuesday, at dinner time, the deputies of the majority to try to rewrite with some of them. Many elected walkers are disappointed and sometimes even angry at being released by the Head of State after refusing - as the government requested - to extend the duration of parental mourning.

" I expect nothing from it ." For this walking deputy, a cocktail in the village hall of the Élysée Palace will not be enough to " treat " parliamentarians. " There will be 300 facing the president, there will be no exchanges ".

Others still hope to get a mea culpa from Emmanuel Macron. The tackle of the Élysée Palace on the majority's " lack of humanity" remains across the throat of several deputies.

But it is not the fault of the Head of State, however defends a prominent deputy, who attacks the " ill-placed pride " of some of his colleagues.

This episode will leave traces within the group, already scalded by the asylum and immigration bill, by the standoff around the pivotal age and marked by the successive departures of a large dozen deputies.

So to overcome this " little discomfort , as a deputy says and above all to move on, a parliamentarian without states of mind does not expect" hugs ", but a course, concrete: Emmanuel Macron must tell us" there where we should go, how we get back together. We must start working on the 2nd five-year period, ”is already getting impatient.
