Fillon / Hamon : après eux le chaos #cdanslair 26.04.2017

The Republicans called on Monday evening, April 24, 2017, to defeat Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election, without endorsing Emmanuel Macron. This was the compromise reached within the right-wing camp after a day of sometimes very tense discussions at party headquarters. The main LR leaders aired their differences on Monday during a political committee meeting, the first since last November. In the aftermath, the party leaders agreed on a statement: “Faced with the National Front, abstention cannot be an option. We call on voters to vote against Marine Le Pen to defeat her in the second round of the presidential election, and we will launch our legislative campaign tomorrow with our alternative platform, the only one capable of turning the situation around in France.” Defeated presidential candidate François Fillon, for his part, declared during this political bureau meeting that he no longer had the legitimacy to lead the legislative campaign and wanted to return to being a dedicated activist. In the wake of a resounding defeat, the Republicans began rebuilding their party with François Fillon stepping back from the political scene. But the right wing, reeling from having let slip an election it thought was a sure thing, is starting to settle scores and finds itself facing a triple crisis: a leadership crisis, with the thorny question of who will lead the legislative campaign; an ideological crisis, due to the deep divisions left by this campaign between moderates and right-wingers; and a strategic crisis, given the serious disagreements on how to approach the two finalists, the En Marche! candidate, Emmanuel Macron, and the National Front candidate, Marine Le Pen. On Sunday, April 23, at 8 p.m., two faces appeared on television screens: those of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, the two candidates selected for the second round of the presidential election. This was followed by footage from the candidates' various headquarters, depicting bursts of joy, tears, anger, and quiet sadness. Elsewhere, the political chaos of the coming weeks has already begun to take hold. The swift endorsements of Emmanuel Macron by Benoît Hamon and François Fillon only underscore the resounding defeat of the two-party system. Disappointed candidates are already turning their attention to the legislative elections, which promise to be difficult to organize. With the usual majorities upended, how can the two winners of this first round hope to convince their bewildered supporters? To what extent will the fervor of Sunday evening and the calls for support translate into votes? What does this first round of the election reveal, and what does it foreshadow for the future?
