Le FigaroIndependent🔒CenterFactual 90Objective 859/7/2026Hervé Morin, president of the Normandy region and former defense minister, continues to advocate for an open competition to determine the candidates for the French presidential election. While some have abandoned the idea of a right-center primary, others believe it is still timely, with Morin strongly supporting such a contest to differentiate the numerous candidates from the 'central bloc.' Morin has outlined a charter of values that participants in the primary would be required to subscribe to, and this document is nearing completion and set to be sent to potential candidates including Edouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal, Bruno Retailleau, and David Lisnard. According to Morin, none of these candidates except one currently reject the charter.
