It is in moments of fragility that the best deals come about. That of Emmanuel Macron has been evident since the immigration law was rejected in the Assembly. He needs LR for an agreement in the joint committee (Monday), he needs his majority to ratify the agreement (Tuesday). Two impossible missions in one, unless one of the two interlocutors “uses the sequence to do judo”, says a close friend of the president. This weekend, historic Macronists began to move.
Not in substance, needless to say. This text on immigration that came out of the Senate, even if it were purged of its main irritants, is not and will never be their cup of tea. “It’s an epidermal subject,” notes Elisabeth Borne, who went on a mine-clearing mission. “It would not be acceptable for state medical aid to be called into question,” says François Bayrou, concerned about balance (RTL).
