One year after the dissolution, the essential surge of the deputies
A year after the legislative elections, the National Assembly is running at a standstill. The situation is, it must be said, quite distressing. Absent deputies, preferring to fight a hypothetical campaign, in case a dissolution were to fall from the sky, like a sword hanging by a hair above the head of Damocles. Parliamentarians from the central bloc, surprised at no longer winning every battle, now caught in a pincer movement by the RN and LFI, and deeming it pointless to travel to Paris to carry out their work. Elected officials who no longer speak to each other, withdrawing into their political groups, even when they are supposed to be jointly supporting the government.
Should we resign ourselves to such a weakening? Certainly not. Firstly, because this democratic weariness, felt and above all (this is as new as it is striking) expressed aloud by the deputies themselves, is linked to a particular political situation, following last year's hazardous dissolution. Secondly, because there are no other paths today than collective intelligence: in these times of budgetary crisis and geopolitical tensions, it would be wise to reach some compromises.
The energy of political leadership already seems to be focused on finding a candidate and defining a program and a line of action, in anticipation of the 2027 presidential election. It's surprising, moreover, that everyone is calling for the adoption of ideological bodies, which one wonders how they could have been absent in recent years. But it is urgent for elected officials to remobilize now and honor the trust of the voters who chose them last year. It's not too late to hope for a resurgence. The credibility of political commitment depends on it.
