The Horizons party, chaired by Édouard Philippe, is holding a third decentralized congress on Saturday, May 17, in Marseille, after Bordeaux and Lille. The mayor of Le Havre is paying close attention to the battle being played out between Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Wauquiez in the Republicans, his former political party.
Some are voting to elect the leader of their party, who will undoubtedly have the ambition to run in the presidential election. Others are rallying around their leader, a candidate already declared for the Élysée in 2027. Can one congress influence another? Whether it is Bruno Retailleau or Laurent Wauquiez, the profile of the winner of the presidency of the Republicans (LR) , whose first round takes place Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18, will certainly have an impact on the presidential strategy of Horizons boss Édouard Philippe, who was a member of this political family before joining Emmanuel Macron.
