A great central movement has always been François Bayrou's dream.

And if the president of the Modem relaunched this idea at the end of the summer, it is because he believes that the firing window to go from dream to reality is now.

Before getting into the hardships of the presidential campaign and before the negotiations for the legislative nominations are initiated.

Bring together the two pillars of the majority

A close friend of François Bayrou believes that "

 it must be done there, if we wait it will be too late

 ".

The objective is to create a structure above the Modem and LaRem, to bring together the two pillars of the majority, but without merging otherwise " 

it will yell on both sides 

".

Structure the center space

In the camp of the mayor of Pau, we explain that we must structure this space in the center because if " 

you let it happen, everyone will go to a stable

 ".

in particular that of Édouard Philippe who is due to launch his movement in October.

And the center, according to François Bayrou, is not the right.

The one who gave decisive support to Emmanuel Macron in the presidential campaign of 2017, hopes to establish himself no longer as a simple ally but as a real partner in the campaign of 2022 and after.
