France: Emanuel Macron’s party changes name

France has entered a phase of resurgence of the political formations that will take part in the parliamentary elections in June, while at the same time the consultations on the form and content that these formations will have are intensifying.

As announced today, during a press conference of representatives of the parties of the so-called presidential majority, Emanuel Macron’s party “Forward France” will no longer have the “character of a movement” but a party and will be called “Renaissance”. The election, however, will be called “Together”, a federal alliance of parties and movements, whose central body will be the “Renaissance” and Macron will be the central reference.

This development follows similar developments in the field of left-wing parties, which more or less decided to run together in the parliamentary elections in a political alliance of a new character called “New People’s Union for Society, Ecology and solidarity “. The central body will be here “Unruly France” by Jean-Luc Melanson who will be the main reference person in the election campaign.

The confederal character of the political formations is largely due to the variety of “political nuances” they ally with, but also to the desire of the parties of each faction to have their own parliamentary group in the new French National Assembly, thus ensuring political recognition, but also financial aid.

The “pluralistic features” that the new French National Assembly will have, however, raise concerns among French analysts about the degree of post-election cohesion of both the Macron and Melanson formations. At the moment, of course, everyone is swearing allegiance and loyalty to the leader of their faction.

Finally, with regard to the third pole of French political life, the pole of the far right, there is currently no mobility, especially on the part of Marine Le Pen.
