In a letter addressed by Emmanuel Macron to the French and published Sunday June 23 on the France Bleu website and in the regional daily press, the Head of State continues to refer back to back “the extremes right and left”. He calls on the French to choose, during the legislative elections of June 30 and July 7, the “third way” embodied by the outgoing majority around the “central block Together for the Republic”, he writes. According to the President of the Republic, “this third way is the best for our country”.
“Not only because she protects the French and prepares for the future. But because she is the only one who can certainly block the extreme right as well as the extreme left in the second round”, insists the head of state. According to Emmanuel Macron, “the Ensemble pour la République candidates first have a record which is undoubtedly not perfect, but which would be called into question if the extremes prevailed”.
“For seven years, a lot has been done” And “All this deserves that we continue the work”. Emmanuel Macron defends his record and justifies his decision to dissolve the National Assembly: “I took this decision responsibly, with great seriousness and after reflection for several weeks.”
He says to do “confidence in the leaders of the majority and in the Prime Minister to remain united, in the service of their candidates in each constituency, in the service of an action project for the country”.
“This election is ours. It is you who will make it. So do not be afraid, do not give in. Vote. Choose respect, ambition and justice for our Nation. We deserve it. France does it deserved”says Emmanuel Macron.
The President of the Republic recognizes that “this decision was difficult and sudden for the parliamentarians and their collaborators”. He tells them his “friendship” and his “respect”. In a form of mea-culpa, he admits to understanding that this dissolution was not well understood. “I am not blind: I measure the democratic malaise. This divide between the people and those who run the country that we have not managed to resolve. Yes, the way of governing must change profoundly”concludes the head of state.
