For the president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, the program of Nupes is “that of a sham and a bankruptcy”.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program is that of an imposture and a bankruptcy”lambasted Monday, May 9 on franceinfo Christophe Castaner. “He offers us an annual deficit of 219 billion euros”assures the outgoing president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, who quotes the Montaigne Institute, a liberal think tank, when the candidate advances an annual saving of 17 billion euros. “France’s annual revenue budget is about 250 billion. It’s as if a family that had 2,000 euros in monthly income spent 3,800 euros a month! It’s the madness of its program. “

The former socialist deputy deplores “the left bloc which aligned itself with the program of Jean-Luc Mélenchon”. “It’s all fantasy and lies”, he attacks again. On the other hand, he does not take up the formula of Manuel Valls, invested by the majority in the legislative elections in the 10th constituency of French people living abroad (Spain – Portugal), who affirmed that his enemy was “melenchonism”. “My main opponent remains Marine Le Pen”declares Christophe Castaner while ensuring that he has no “hazard hierarchy” : “If we take the figures from the Montaigne Institute, Marine Le Pen has a budget that does not hold up, but we are not in the same dimensions.”
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon is doing a fairly strong publicity stunt. He is explaining to us that his third defeat in a presidential election is a victory.”

In this context, Christophe Castaner denounces the parties which “want to save parliamentarians” behind La France insoumise. The union of the presidential majority, it, “is not a misinterpretation”. “In 2017, we built a political project with the MoDem and Édouard Philippe as Prime Minister.” “You could reproach me for this if I were to make an agreement with political adversaries”explains the former socialist.
