The deputy Aurélien Taché, one of the historic walkers, decided to leave La République en Marche, deploring in particular that the "opening" of the party was "done only to the right", he announced in the Journal du Dimanche .
“In 2017, I left the Socialist Party because it was unable to cross its borders. Today, I am leaving LREM for exactly the same reasons, ”declares the elected representative of Val d'Oise, deploring that the movement founded in April 2016“ was not able to build an ideological corpus, to find convergence with other parties or allies in society ”.
According to Aurélien Taché, "the opening was only made to the right" and "the conservatives are also in the majority". “We have seen this on the issue of welcoming refugees, which remains a great disappointment for me. Same thing on freedoms: how can a progressive movement vote the anti-breakers law ", wonders the one who was rapporteur on the" integration "aspect of the asylum-immigration law.
"I will not be in opposition"
Aurélien Taché also regrets the isolation of the party which "has not stopped repeating that there was no salvation outside (of him), of refusing to vote everything that came from the oppositions". Affirming wanting to “carry the popular ecological and solidarity aspirations”, he specified that he would “most certainly leave the parliamentary group”.
But he does not confirm wanting to join the group in gestation at the Assembly, whose creation could be announced next week around deputies, some of whom have already slammed the door of LREM. "I will not be in opposition," says Aurélien Taché. "If there is a choice, I will be in the majority because I want to be constructive and get results for the French," he insists.
Former ministerial collaborator of Sylvia Pinel then of Emmanuel Cosse in Housing under the previous five-year term, Aurélien Taché stood out for his singular voice within the majority, often marked by his leftist convictions. Coming from a working class background, graduating late, he joined Emmanuel Macron's campaign teams in 2016, seduced by the "promise of emancipation" carried by the candidate. Its announced departure from the group drops the total workforce to 295, against 314 in June 2017. And LREM could well lose the absolute majority (289 seats) if some of its members actually joined the potential 9th group at Palais-Bourbon.
