MP's at French National Assembly

"The second is a little more recent, I quote again: "Our priorities are not those of half of France against the other half but those of all the French. Undoing what others have done, doing what others will defeat, that is the kind of policy that voters no longer want. We will not ask anyone to join us by interest or betray his convictions. "These are the words of Michel ROCARD (Former PM) on June 29, 1988, almost thirty years ago. ROCARD, CHABAN, two eminent personalities, two statesmen who embodied two essential currents of our political life, Gaullism and Social Democracy. Two men who agreed on a statement and a method, and yet the diagnosis made 48 years ago remains unfortunately valid, the method proposed 30 years ago remains a requirement but too rarely a reality" Edouard Philippe stated.-----------------------------------------------------
OUR COMPATRIOTS HAVE EXPRESSED BY THE VOTE A HOPE CARRIED OUT BY EMMANUEL MACRON
"And France, unlike many nations of the world, does not solve its problems. The result is a mortifying feeling in which dismay, discouragement, disenchantment and anger are mingled. We know this feeling, we sometimes feel it ourselves, we know its power. Our compatriots expressed it and strongly during the presidential election by a reflex of abstention or a vote of exasperation. One must understand these anguishes, one must understand this anger. But our compatriots also expressed a formidable hope in carrying Emmanuel MACRON to the presidency of the Republic. While great democracies chose to withdraw into themselves, with their backs turned to the world, the French, with the President of the Republic, preferred the spirit of openness and conquest. They were offered impotent nostalgia, they preferred the courage to face the future. They had to choose between anger and confidence, they expressed their anger but they chose optimism and gathering.---------------------
During the campaign, since his election and yesterday before the Parliament gathered in Congress, the President of the Republic has shown us the course. I am happy. We often missed a course. He also told us how to do that. It is based on three points: telling the truth, working with all women and men of good will, getting concrete results as quickly as possible. This course is clear, it must be held."Edouard Philippe stated.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FRENCH PEOPLE HAS GIVEN TO THE GOVERNMENT& MEET THE MEANS TO FOLLOW THE COURSE
For the sake of obvious coherence, the French have given the President and the Government the means to follow this course by designating a clear and incontestable majority. This clear majority, no one takes it for a blank. It involves at least as many duties as rights. That the government can base its action on a strong majority is a good thing, that it always has in mind that the general interest is never reduced to any fraction of the French people, even if majority, is a good Even better.
FRANCE MUST REASSERT CONFIDENCE AND FIRST WITH THE FRENCH PEOPLE---------------------------------------
"Nevertheless, France must move forward. There is in our dear old country an envy, an energy, a hope that transcends the political currents, and that is what should surprise no one. The French have accustomed us through the ages to these collective bursts and these returns of confidence even when everything seemed blocked, even lost. In 2017, the French told us that they wanted France to finally become herself, confident, courageous and conquering".Edouard Philippe added.-------------
To restore herself, France must restore confidence and, first of all, the confidence of the French in public action. I'm talking about confidence and not morality. I will not be the arbiter of elegance and I do not like mixing genres.
