Then, the one who founded the Horizons party, component of the presidential majority during the last legislative elections in June, met Jean-Luc Moudenc, the mayor Les Républicains de Toulouse, with whom he had lunch. The meeting took place in the presence of Laurence Arribagé, the president of the federation of LR de la Haute-Garonne, and Arnaud Mounier, the director of cabinet of Jean-Luc Moudenc. “Always happy to welcome you, dear Edouard, to our beautiful city”, tweeted the mayor of Toulouse in turn with a photo of the four smiling guests.

The meeting, which had not been publicized, revived the persistent rumors, at Les Républicains de la Haute-Garonne, on possible changes of political labels to come concerning the participants in the lunch. A hypothesis on which none of the judges wished to speak.
