Emmanuel Macron’s day visit to Ukraine, Thursday, June 16, took center stage on the international scene. It arouses many political reactions three days before the legislative elections. The opposition sees it as an avoidance strategy on the part of Emmanuel Macron, and a visit for electoral purposes.
Thursday, June 16, Marine Le Pen continues her tour of France as the second round of the legislative elections approaches. In support of the candidates of the National Rally (RN) in Moselle, she castigates the trip of Emmanuel Macron to Ukraine. “It is obvious that the choice of this trip (…) obviously has an electoral goal. Let’s at least hope this will advance peace“, estimates Marine le Pen, leader of the RN.
Very virulent in thebetween-two-rounds with regard to the Head of State, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is more measured there. “We can obviously wonder about the meaning of this trip but as it is abroad in a war zone, I suggest that we avoid too many controversiess”, declares the leader of the Nudes. On the side of the Republicans, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Michel barnier criticizes Emmanuel Macron for having delayed too long on the Ukrainian file. Thus, the trip of the President of the Republic to Eastern Europe will have been an angle of attack favored by the opposition three days before a major election for the country.
