While former minister Catherine Vautrin, under Jacques Chirac, pleads for a programmatic agreement between the right and Emmanuel Macron, Les Républicains reject at this stage any coalition with the majority.

A position shared by almost all the executives meeting Monday in strategic advice.

LR does not intend to make any concessions on its role in the next five years.

The Republicans reject at this stage any coalition with the majority.

But, all the LR deputies elected on Sunday evening were elected on a line impervious to macronism, in particular Éric Ciotti in the Alpes-Maritimes.

"We are not intended to be the spare wheel of a power that has failed, that has fragmented our country, that has weakened it," he said. 

"We are not for sale"

A position shared but nuanced by Xavier Bertrand, the president of Hauts-de-France: "We are not here to block but we are not for sale. But one thing is certain in the National Assembly: nothing is will do with Mélenchon and nothing will be done with Marine Le Pen".

Proposed laws on purchasing power and security

LR therefore finds himself in the position of arbiter with only 62 deputies.

Valérie Pécresse thus asks Emmanuel Macron to learn the lessons of the ballot.

"He must change Prime Minister and government and hear the voice of the French, on purchasing power, the restoration of authority, on the financial truth of France, it is on all these subjects that we expect it".

So, in strategic advice, Laurent Wauquiez pleaded for the right to impose its ideas in future legal texts.

A call heard by Christian Jacob.

The president of the party indicated that the Republicans will table by the fall proposals for laws on purchasing power, security or health.
