Laurent Wauquiez, the president of the Les Républicains (LR) deputies in France, has emphasized the need for the right to come together to create a common political platform ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in an interview with JDD, he stressed the importance of first reaching consensus on core issues, which he believes will facilitate a more cohesive front during the election. This initiative aims to unite diverse factions of the right, from supporters of the macronist Gérald Darmanin to those aligned with the far-right Reconquête party.
