Shipwreck of migrants: NGOs are “accomplices of smugglers”
Marine Le Pen denounced the NGOs which, according to her, are “the real accomplices of the smugglers”while off the coast of Greece nearly 80 migrants lost their lives in a shipwreck on Tuesday June 13, the largest in 10 years. “This appalling drama is a drama that comes after many other tragedies and which, if we do not stop this policy, will precede many other tragedies,” she asserted. The boss of the RN recommends that boats in “Danger” be boarded. Then, “the migrants who are on these boats must be embarked, they must be fed, they must be treated, they must be hydrated and they must be brought back to their port of departure”, she offered. She wants to put a stop to “this suction pump that makes thousands of migrants, each year, risk their lives with crossings that are more and more perilous”she says.
Ukraine: “Urgent” to negotiate to “end this butchery”
“It is urgent to come to the negotiating table” For “put an end to this butchery”, said Marine Le Pen as Ukraine began its counter-offensive to try to retake territories occupied by Russia. It does not give the same status to Donbass and Crimea. “Crimea has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. We can dispute the conditions for organizing the referendum and note at the same time that the inhabitants of Crimea have chosen to become Russians. This is the position of Nicolas Sarkozy, it is the position of Valérie Giscard d’Estaing, it is the position of Marine Le Pen”, did she say. No doubt for her, Crimea is Russian: “It’s always been clear. I’ve been saying it for ten years. So I haven’t changed my mind” she said.
Marine Le Pen wants the Ukrainian counter-offensive to be “victorious”what “will allow Ukraine to arrive at the negotiating table in good conditions”, he said. She called on Emmanuel Macron to take an initiative by proposing a “great conference for peace” In France. “It’s a shame that France is not in first place”, she says.
Industrial relocation: “A lot of bluster” at Emmanuel Macron
Emmanuel Macron has pledged to relocate the production of 50 drugs to allow France to regain its sovereignty in health matters. It’s a “cosmetic plan”judged Marine Le Pen. “I stop being content with words with Emmanuel Macron because I noticed that there was still a lot of bluster in the way he announced his intentions in this way”she said. “The situation of France in terms of industry is dramatic”, she believes. According to her, the priority is to tackle the price of energy: “This is what is killing our industry, our businesses, traders, artisans”she says. “We have to win the price of electricity, the price of gas”, she recommended. She expects a clear commitment from the government for the “reindustrialization”, “it is essential for employment, the level of French wages, for pensions and also for our foreign trade”she said.
Freedom of establishment for doctors: “We are not in the Soviet Union”
Marine Le Pen vigorously opposes the regulation of the installation of liberal doctors in order to fight against medical deserts: “We are in France, we are not in the Soviet Union”she let go. “Doctors should have the freedom to set up shop wherever they want,” she considered. “Those who are responsible for this are those who for 30 years have prevented young French students from becoming doctors because of the numerus clausus”, she said. Emmanuel Macron removed the latter, but it will be necessary to wait ten years before seeing the first effects.
Mbappé: Emmanuel Macron takes care of “what does not concern him”
While the soap opera Mbappé started again, Marine Le Pen strongly criticized the role that Emmanuel Macron gives himself in wanting to influence the 24-year-old prodigy in his future choices. The PSG striker seems to have desires elsewhere, far from the Parisian club, since he has decided not to activate his last year of optional contract at the end of next year: “You do not believe that the French have enough difficulties today for the President of the Republic to devote all his energy to them rather than getting involved in what does not concern him objectively”, she considered. “Emmanuel Macron’s problem is the image that his mirror, every night, sends back of himself. So it’s not for Mbappé that he does this. It’s not for amateurs. football and Mbappé fans, but for himself.”
