“After these spin and communication effects, we will have to take action,” says RN MP Laure Lavalette

“After these manipulations and communication, we will have to take action”said National Rally of Var deputy Laure Lavalette, spokesperson for the RN group in the National Assembly, on Friday November 17 on franceinfo, while Emmanuel Macron organized for the third time since this summer “Saint-Denis meetings” with several party leaders.

“We went there because I think it’s our role as the leading opposition party”justifies Laure Lavalette, while Eric Ciotti (Les Républicains), Olivier Faure (Socialist Party) and Manuel Bompard (La France Insoumise) declined the invitation from the Head of State. “Jordan Bardella is president of the party that most represents the French. We think it’s interesting. We have things to say”. The RN spokesperson notes that Emmanuel Macron “wants to open some construction sites”. “We have a program, we have ideas to defend. So as soon as we can defend them, we go there”asserts Laure Lavalette. “Whether we fight Emmanuel Macron, he nonetheless remains the President of the Republic”.

Laura Lavalette “do not think” that the RN serves “alibi” to the president. “The French want us to make our voice heard. And that’s what we do in all instances, in all institutions, in all the chambers where we can talk about our program”. The RN spokesperson emphasizes that the President of the Republic “wanted to talk referendum”. She recalls that the referendum is “something” which holds “to heart” his side. “Marine Le Pen has a bill on immigration that we will want to submit to the French after her victory in 2027, if the people ever decide that it should be like that”. “We cannot want to talk about a referendum and not go there when the President of the Republic says that it is a project that he wants to open”, adds the elected official from Var. According to her, Emmanuel Macron “has nothing behind it” this notion of referendum and “will discredit himself as he knows how to do”.

Regarding the possibility of holding a referendum on immigration, Laure Lavalette explains that the RN wants, “with this referendum, manage to engrave in stone, in the Constitution, all the legal, political, administrative tools which will allow us to protect France in the face of this migratory submersion and to take back control of this migration policy, confiscated from the French since over 40 years old”.
