French Conservatives Call Macron’s Meeting a ‘Disappointment’

The French conservative party, Les Républicains, deemed their meeting with President Emmanuel Macron a ‘disappointing’ encounter, claiming he offered no new solutions or vision for the future. Party leader Laurent Wauquiez, along with other representatives, expressed their frustration, stating Macron had shown no ‘new position’ and failed to provide a clear plan for governing. Despite the dissatisfaction, Les Républicains remain open to collaborating with the future government, emphasizing their willingness to contribute to a constructive political process. The meeting followed similar consultations with centrist parties, and comes amidst the ongoing political uncertainty following Macron’s re-election and the resignation of the previous government.
