“My conviction is that we have a mission: to prepare the post-Macron today,” hammered out the elected official who decided not to embark on the race for the Republican presidency, without giving up the presidential one.
“We have to gain height. It is an immense task to which I want to dedicate myself completely: to question myself, to immerse myself in the deep country, to renew the thread of trust that has been lost, to mobilize the starting forces. to succeed in the great meeting of 2027”, he added.
“It is with authority that we will have to stop massive immigration”
“And we must prepare now,” stressed Laurent Wauquiez, promising not to have “the intention of shutting ourselves up in an ivory tower,” but calling to “travel the country, listening to find the new ideas that we will need.” .
In an alleged reference to the title of a book by Michel Houellebecq, the former head of LR deplored the “submission” of politics and denounced “a minority of technocrats, judges, active minorities who have put their hands on countries”, as well as the “all you can eat allowances”.

“This is what we are going to do, rebuild,” he harangued again, promising to “devote all (his) energy and all (his) determination, stronger than ever.” “Nothing is ever written for determined souls and brave spirits,” he argued still on top of Mont-Mézenc during his speech, a summer ritual he had established in 2012.
