Three days before the second round of the legislative elections, the opposition denounced electoral aims over Emmanuel Macron’s trip to Ukraine on Thursday, June 16.
Marine Le Pen continues her tour of France as the second round of the legislative elections approaches, which will take place on Sunday 19 June. In support of her candidates, in Moselle, the leader of the National Rally castigates Emmanuel Macron’s trip to Ukraine on Thursday, June 16. “It is the calendar that questions”, she explains. For Marine Le Pen, the president’s official trip is not without political ulterior motives.
In this between-two-rounds, Jean-Luc Mélenchon prefers to avoid any controversy. “I find it good that the president publicly and spectacularly reminds which side the French are on”, declares the leader of Nupes (New Popular Ecological and Social Union). On the side of the Republicans, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Michel Barnier criticizes Emmanuel Macron for having delayed too long on the Ukrainian file. The trip of the Head of State to Ukraine will have been a privileged angle of attack for the opposition, as a major election for the country approaches.
