Traveling to Bordeaux, the President of the Republic estimated during a press briefing that it is “complitly normal” of“have discussions” with the National Rally at the National Assembly. “We are not going to consider that this or that political group would have fewer parliamentary rights, less recognition”added Emmanuel Macron.
These comments are in line with the declarations of his Prime Minister the day before. On France 2, Gabriel Attal had “assumed” to work “with everyone” in the National Assembly, including with groups to which it is “radically opposed”the National Rally (RN) and La France insoumise (LFI).
The head of government was strongly criticized on the left after declaring to the daily The world from February 6 that “the republican arc is the hemicycle” of the Assembly, where 88 deputies from the National Rally sit, when her predecessor Elisabeth Borne regularly stressed that the RN and LFI should be excluded.
“I do not share” this approach, Renaissance MP Marc Ferracci, close to Emmanuel Macron, reacted to AFP. “I speak neither to the extreme right nor to LFI. I see no reason to change my method. I am not seeking compromise with them”had underlined this executive of the group.
