While the climate is tense and the social crisis caused by pension reform is now turning into a political one, Edouard Philippe, right in his shoes, decides that he will not change anything in his plans. This Saturday, under skies that promise mingling and with an enhanced security system, the former prime minister will gather members of his young party “Horizons” in the Parc Floral, east of Paris. At least those who will be able to make the trip. Because transport strikes oblige, the number of peasants will not be as expected to participate in the first congress of their formation.
