Renaissance MP Gilles LeGendre calls for ‘referendum’

After former President Jean-Louis Debret in an interview with Le Parisien who called for a “return to the people”, it was the turn of Macronist MP Gilles Le Gendre to advocate for a “referendum”. The scene in the guiding path, which the deputy draws up for the information of the President of the Republic. “I don’t think we can last 4 years without going back to the people,” continued Gilles LeGendre, a decision he had already championed to get out of the political crisis after the pension reform. However, he rules out the dissolution of the National Assembly, which he believes is the “royal path for Marine Le Pen”.

“Therefore, it is around the referendum, if the president wants to cope with this crisis of public decision-making, in order to have an institutional balance,” worries a deputy from Paris, advocating the introduction of a proportional dose. He also assessed the “serious crisis in government decision-making”, which is developing into a “democratic crisis”. And in continuation: “It is becoming more and more difficult to involve the country in urgent transformations, which it must be crowned with success.”

“We have a year ahead of us for real change”

For Gilles le Gendre, Emmanuel Macron must accelerate to renew his second and final mandate. “It is very urgent that the president tell us how he wants to succeed in this five-year term and how to prevent extremely radical populist forces from imposing their law in 2027,” he further pointed out. “We have passed half of this five-year term. We have just over a year left to make a real change,” Gilles Le Gendre, MP for the Renaissance party for Paris, said on Tuesday.

“After the Olympics at the end of 2024, we will move into a completely different sequence, marked by the start of the presidential campaign.” At the end of the “100 days of appeasement and action” and “calm France” promised by Emmanuel Macron after the debate on pensions, the MP welcomes the positive assessment, but remains vigilant. If “it’s true that calm has returned, the real issue is why these crises are recurring,” he asked, even if he doesn’t see a “miraculous solution.” “But if we don’t try anything, we are absolutely sure of the result,” concluded Gilles LeGendre.
