“It gives a pitiful spectacle of politics,” regrets LFI MEP Manon Aubry.

“It gives a pitiful spectacle of politics”regrets La France Insoumise MEP Manon Aubry on France Inter on Saturday 21 September, while for several days, negotiations have been taking place between the presidential camp and Les Républicains, with a view to the composition of the government.

New Prime Minister hopes to present new government “before Sunday”. He spoke by telephone with Emmanuel Macron on Friday, after having sent him a composition “finalized”. On Saturday, LFI is calling for demonstrations to protest against the Barnier government and support the impeachment proceedings against Emmanuel Macron. “The message sent, from a democratic point of view, is: ‘Lose the elections!’ In our country, it has become the best way to govern.”tackles the MEP.

“This is the first time that we have a government that will not be the result of the ballot box, that we will have a government that has no democratic legitimacy.”she insists. “This is an unprecedented coup, and I say this all the more so with my hat on as a Member of the European Parliament: in any other European country, it would have caused a reaction if the political party that came out on top in the elections had not been given the responsibility of governing.” “It’s crazy anyway”protests the Insoumise. “We sometimes voted against our will in the second round, because our preferred candidate withdrew, we mobilized to form a republican front and we find ourselves with a government of those who refused to participate in this republican front”. “This is no longer a republican front, it is an affront to democracy,” she summarizes.

She also did not mince her words in denouncing the “shenanigans” of certain parties during the composition of the government, pointing out in particular the “MoDem, who will say ‘come on, I’ll pretend not to be happy, I’ll get one more ministry’, to finally support this government. It gives a pitiful spectacle of politics”she regrets.
