They intend to multiply on the ground until the vote, at the request of the head of government. “ No public holidays when we are in the countryside », lectured Gabriel Attal this Tuesday evening, summoning his ministers and his majority to get more involved in the European election campaign. “ We must multiply where it is useful. May 9 will be a very big day of mobilization. Each minister will have to make a trip within his ministerial area to promote the European assessment. »
The Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire is one of the members of the government who has held the greatest number of public meetings. “ I think everyone is on the ground, he said. I believe that the meaning of the meeting today is to call in the troops, to show that we are all on deck. An election is won on the ground. »
Behind closed doors, with several ministers and executives of the majority, Gabriel Attal invited his troops to “ talk about Europe » and « hammer » four themes: agriculture, the environment, reindustrialization and defense, but also “ uncover (the) weaknesses » oppositions, and this “ without feverishness “.
The Renaissance campaign spokesperson, Clément Beaune, dramatizes the stakes of these elections to refocus the debate on European subjects: “ This election is being held in a context of seriousness, seriousness on the European continent, seriousness of the geopolitical situation. We cannot take it lightly and we must situate it, play it, on European issues. » The Renaissance campaign committee will now take place every Monday until the European vote in June.
