In view of the presidential election, more than sixty parliamentarians call for a primary against the “extremes”

More than sixty parliamentarians, the vast majority Renaissance, call in a column published in La Tribune Dimanche, Saturday November 7, for a "primary of Democrats and Republicans", without saying precisely on what perimeter. Objective, according to them: to avoid “the specter of a second round between La France insoumise and the National Rally”. Among the 66 signatories, there are nine senators including six Renaissance, four European deputies all Renaissance, and 53 deputies including 51 Renaissance. The UDI deputy Laurent Mazaury attached his signature, as did the MoDem Richard Ramos.

“This primary can only be done on a clear perimeter, the union around common values: respect for republican values ​​and the rule of law, secularism, social progress, the return of authority, European construction, work and the competitiveness of businesses, the recovery of our school and equal opportunities, or even the desire to respond to the climate emergency,” they write. “There is still time to pull ourselves together. Still time to put France before egos. It is time to organize the primary and give hope to the French,” they insist.
