What will the right look like after the presidential election?

While Valérie Pécresse is given far behind Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron in the polls, the Republicans could undergo a major recomposition.

The party is highly coveted, especially by Emmanuel Macron.

In the event of re-election, this is one of Emmanuel Macron's objectives: the pure and simple disappearance of the Republicans.

According to our information, the current tenant of the Élysée wishes to build in the coming weeks a new political structure which remains to be defined, with a mission: to attract to Macronie the Sarkozystes present at LR. 

"Strong convergences" between Macron and Les Républicains

After Éric Woerth, Natacha Bouchart or Catherine Vautrin, the LR deputy for Yonne Guillaume Larrivé is considering this week in the magazine

Le Point

a coalition with the Head of State and underlines "the strong convergences" between the Republican project and that of the outgoing president. 

Emmanuel Macron thus wishes on the one hand to widen his political space, after having considerably reduced the influence of the PS five years ago.

All this while avoiding granting this role to Edouard Philippe, whose influence he wants to limit as much as possible.

Tilt the Senate to the right

Finally, still according to our information, the Head of State wishes, if he is re-elected, to tilt the Senate from the right to La République en Marche.

A goal for 2023, as a response to the differences expressed by the upper house, towards the policy pursued over the past five years by Emmanuel Macron.
