More importantly, what may challenge even the most distracted observers is the choice of the term “Renaissance” itself and the remarkable historical reference to which it directly refers. From there let’s imagine an attempt at a semantic delay… For the record, what did we hear about the change in the name of the Union for the Popular Movement, which became Les Republic in 2015, and the expropriation it consecrated, it seems.
