“We can judge that this situation is difficult to maintain”estimated Monday June 27 on franceinfo Julien Dive, LR deputy for Aisne, while a new complaint for “attempted rape” was filed against the Minister of Solidarity Damien Abad by an elected centrist.
“It’s getting complicated. He’s in a difficult situation”judge Julien Dive. “The government is also in a difficult situation.” But the elected official specifies that it is a subject which “concerns above all the government, which looks at the majority since it is a minister of the President of the Republic”. “It’s not so much a subject that concerns us anymore”adds MP LR.
In addition, Julien Dive also wondered about a completely different subject: the government agreement that Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne are trying to develop. “Isn’t it healthy, in our Fifth Republic, to have a Parliament which negotiates, which controls the action of the government, which makes proposals?”, asks the deputy. “It’s still refreshing.”
During this quinquennium, “the Republicans will be in a position that will be neither that of obstruction, nor that of compromise”recalls MP LR. “For five years, we were force of proposal. It is even the majority who rejected our proposals to resume them a few months later”emphasizes Julien Dive. “We will remain in this logic, that of making proposals, hoping that, now, the majority relative to the National Assembly accepts the proposals.”
>> Government of Elisabeth Borne: a hard-to-find coalition
The deputy ensures that the LR deputies will “dealing case by case, text by text, project by project and with our own proposals”. He believes that so far, “the habit” was “to have a National Assembly which seemed to be only a recording chamber. There was a vertical power with a vertical decision which, finally, followed the decision of the government”. Today, “For a long time, we’ve been going to have a Parliament that will do its job and that won’t follow this logic. I think it’s also healthy for democracy”rejoices Julien Dive.
While Jean-François Copé deplored a situation “total blockage” of the country, reference to the difficulties in building a coalition, Julien Dive judges that the mayor LR of Meaux “has not been in the National Assembly for 10 years” and that he “comments a lot”. “I want to tell him to let us, the deputies, and particularly the young generation, let us work, calmly, without trying to push us to this type of injunctions.” He finds “sorry” this type of comments. According to him, Jean-François Copé “also bears the responsibility for having thrown into the public square ideas that were not those carried by the Republicans”. This put “several candidates” LR in “difficulties”.
“Jean-François Copé, if he feels uncomfortable with the Republicans, who says so right away and makes a decision”adds Julien Dive.
