It is in a hubbub intense that Prime minister Jean Castex and his ministers have made their entry in the hemicycle of the national Assembly. For their first questions to the government, ahead of a week the general policy statement, the atmosphere was – not surprisingly – boosted, while the game was still classic. Each has held his role on the front of the stage : the oppositions in the champions of the protest and warnings thundering, the majority of benevolent listening and applause. The fact remains that, behind the scenes, many members of the majority questioned. Act III of the five-year term will take place on its promises of a new path ? And the latter will adhere to the promise of the original macronisme ?
Nicolas Sarkoy back in power ?
"hand in Hand with the government and Jean Castex" tweeted Gilles, The Son-in-law, the (still) president of the group LREM to the national Assembly. It is far from being the opinion of the 280 members who remain in the majority party. There are of course those of the left wing who are worried about the right hand in majesty in this government. "Nicolas Sarkozy would not he again in power ?" questioned squeaky, a former socialist deputy. While others note that there has been a lot of ministers in the outgoing from the left. In this camp, even if someone says, always believe in Emmanuel Macron, we feel "betrayed" : the political line is no longer that of the beginning.

Some parliamentarians, however, are more nuanced. "The signal is disturbing in the light of the message sent by voters in the local elections ", Clear analysis Pitollat, mp of the Bouches-du-Rhone, who feels "deprived of his political line" with LREM, which reinforces the center-right and a left that leans toward the Submissive. This does not prevent him from thinking that nothing is lost : "If we look at it in detail, Jean Castex is also the one who has managed the crisis in a way very social. And the appointment of his chief of staff (a man of the left) could allow trade-offs more balanced at Matignon than before. "And stressed that" the creation of a ministry of the Insert is also a new promising ".
The disappointed : future slingers in power
there are also those who thought they were joining the government and that must definitely be a reason, and holding on to their seat in the chamber. Disappointed, they blame the blow in silence, for the moment. Some still hoping for a post of secretary of State... But what will they do to the back ? "It's supposed to be the last reshuffle, their hopes are showered and if, for the moment, they are silent to not appear as bad players, they could quickly become noisy and slingers. The culture of the hold-up way 2017 is in the genes of the Walkers, " says one member.

Jean Castex embodies the change announced by the president of the Republic and expected by the deputies. "It is true that some people say "all that for this !" and lament the lack of depth of the change, " notes Eric Pouillat, member of parliament for the Gironde. He himself admits : "Jean Castex was not the First minister that I was expecting, but it has sent the correct signals when we (the deputies of the majority, ED) has received the prime minister's office and when he came to our group meeting. Several times, the Prime minister has repeated that he would be the leader of the majority and that it aimed to enhance the deputies and the parliamentary work. "
A general policy speech in the highly anticipated
words that have done good to the troops, who are sick and tired of the lessons their data and, especially, to be on the bench of the accused. In particular, in relation to the results of the municipal. "Hear repeating in a loop that should be done on the ground is unbearable, said a member of parliament. The field, we do it all the time, it's part of the job. Ministers would do well to do the same... " Also, a majority of the members ensures prefer to try on pieces the new Prime minister and the government. Scheduled for 15 July to 15 hours, the general policy speech that will deliver Jean Castex in the chamber is thus highly anticipated.
