Gilles, The Son-in-law does not intend to throw in the towel. Questioned for several weeks, weakened after the disclosure in the press of a confidential memorandum addressed to the head of State, the president of the Republic in power is defended in front of his troops Tuesday morning. The member of parliament for Paris, regretted the “disclosure malicious and may be unlawful” in this note. “I understand and share your emotion (…) even if I am not guilty of anything, I feel infinitely indebted to each of you to repair the trust damaged on this occasion.” In that document, The Son-in-law suggested including Emmanuel Macron to replace Edouard Philippe and felt that no member of parliament was to be “credible” to Matignon.

The president of the group considered that these exchanges were “normal,” and said that he had also written that “many” of mps LREM “could legitimately enter the government”. “You have the right to criticize me. Nothing to me is more foreign than contempt. The mission that I have entrusted to you is a difficulty unheard-of,” said The Son-in-law.

In turmoil, the leader of the deputies macronistes has been able to count on the support of the president of the Assembly, Richard Ferrand. “I would find the secondary we make an anecdote, a collective drama”, he tried to appease. This near Emmanuel Macron recalled the context of crisis, the spirit of harmony required by the head of State and called on elected officials to “unit”. “The divisions are lethal. The municipal elections are, in this respect, a laboratory quite eloquent. The unit, or death. The unit, it is also the spirit of benevolence.”
