Macron's Party Proposes New Political Pact

Published: 2024-08-13

In a bid to navigate the complex political landscape following the recent legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron's party, Renaissance, has unveiled a "pact of action for the French.

" This initiative, finalized on August 13, outlines six key priorities: restoring public finances, defending secularism and institutions, enhancing purchasing power and housing, addressing environmental concerns, and improving security and public services.

The pact serves as a foundation for discussions with other political parties, excluding the far-right National Rally (RN) and the far-left France Insoumise (LFI).

Gabriel Attal, the outgoing Prime Minister and leader of the Renaissance group in the National Assembly, has reached out to various political factions, emphasizing the need for compromise and collaboration.

Meanwhile, the search for a new Prime Minister continues, with several candidates being considered.

The political maneuvering comes as Macron seeks to stabilize the government and foster cooperation across the political spectrum, excluding extremist parties.
