00:00 Olivier Marlex, 52, who is the head of the LR deputies, takes a significant risk when
00:05 studying the bill on immigration that begins on Monday at the National Assembly.
00:09 His credibility rests on his ability to maintain order among his undisciplined troops.
00:14 Is he a majority in his own group, ironizes a party member, the Republicans, tired of
00:20 hearing dissonant voices about immigration among the 62 deputies.
00:24 Supported by Edouard Balladur in 1995, this rather discreet man with classical elegance was elected
00:30 for the first time in 2012 in Neurellois, far from the circumscription of his father's cantal,
00:34 former Secretary of State Alain Marlex.
00:36 In 2022, he is propelled to the head of a parliamentary group decimated by electoral
00:42 defeats and composed of elected officials often presented as self-entrepreneurs.
00:45 Republicans who consider having saved their skin in the last year's legislatures
00:51 thanks to their territorial anchoring and not thanks to their affiliation with a
00:54 grumpy party after a presidential election marked by the overthrow of its candidate
00:57 Valérie Pécresse.
00:58 Olivier Marlex's task is not easy, recognizes the influence of Senator Roger Carucci who
01:04 gives him the considerable merit of striving to maintain the unity of such a disparate group.
01:08 "He has a complicated job," explains to the AFP the one who recently asked for a
01:13 reshaping of Deputy Aurélien Pradié, one of the tribunes of the party who opposed
01:17 the Senate version of the immigration bill, judging him as "too centrist."
01:22 The deputy of the law had already stood out from his boss's line during the retirement
01:26 reform, supporting with 18 of his colleagues a motion of censorship against Elisabeth
01:31 Borne.
01:32 On immigration, the breaches appeared on the big day at the end of November in a tribune
01:36 signed by 17 LR deputies who extended their hand to the Minister of the Interior Gérald
01:40 Darmanin.
01:41 To avoid giving a division image on immigration, a right-wing favorite subject, Mr. Marlex
01:47 quickly voted for a motion, adopted unanimously, where the deputies committed themselves not
01:51 to support a degraded text compared to the one approved by the right-wing majority
01:55 in the Senate.
01:56 After the passage to the commission, which partly untwisted the text of the chamber,
02:02 the assembly examined it and constituted an hour of truth for Mr. Marlex.
02:05 How many of these deputies will follow these directives?
02:08 A tenor of the majority considers that the leader of the file will find himself in a very
02:12 bad position if more than 5 LR deputies support the text on immigration, either
02:16 they vote against, or they explode, and the explosion will first of all translate
02:20 by the departure of Marlex, he predicts.
02:23 - The hatred of Macron
02:25 Nostalgic of the assumed gaullism and sovereignism, father of two daughters, Mr. Marlex is a
02:30 fierce anti-Macronist who has illustrated himself by seizing justice in 2019 after
02:34 having presided over the investigation commission on the controversial purchase of the energy
02:38 branch of Alstom by the American GE, finalized then that the head of state was the minister
02:42 of the economy.
02:43 He has a real hatred for Emmanuel Macron, but also for the ex-LR parties to join
02:48 the majority like Gérald Darmanin who regularly accuses him of lying or the former
02:52 Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, explains a party source.
02:55 A line that is not shared by his entire group.
02:58 He is vertical, he needs a leader, deplores a deputy who blames him for mistakes,
03:04 notably decisions taken without consultation.
03:06 For Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the National Assembly and the Assembly, he lacks
03:12 qualities to the leader of the LR ranks, the political approach and a dose of courage.
03:15 A LR cadre attributes the difficulties of Mr. Marlex within the group to his original
03:20 sin of not having proposed the vice-presidency to Julien Dive, his rival during the election.
03:25 A socialist colleague judges him irritated by the indiscipline of his deputies, even
03:30 if he rarely expresses it in public, or he often shows sarcastic humor.
03:34 He demonstrated it a year ago at the end of the LR senators' year when he was very
03:39 applauded.
03:40 I will send my deputies to do an internship at your place, did he blow?
