Edouard Philippe and other presidential hopefuls prepare for new political era

Former French prime minister Edouard Philippe has been criss-crossing the north-eastern Alsace region in support of his party’s MPs who are facing tough re-election battles against far-right opponents on Sunday. Horizons is the liberal conservative wing of Emmanuel Macron’s three-way centrist alliance. But the party is campaigning under its own banner and its leaflets make no mention of the president at all.

France was probably entering a new political “configuration” under which the president no longer controlled the government and assumed a different institutional role, the former premier said. Macron was neither a parliamentarian nor a party leader, so the new majority and government that emerges after the election “will not come from him”.
