In the event of a relative majority, the National Rally is putting forward the hypothesis of alliances with compatible deputies

The National Rally, through the voice of Marine Le Pen, suggests strategies of alliances with deputies from other parties to achieve an absolute majority at the end of the second round of the legislative elections.

What strategy for the National Rally after the second round of legislative elections? Jordan Bardella continues to call for a “absolute majority” to voters, a way of mobilizing its electorate, but the party with the flame seems to be preparing to have to find new allies to reach 289 deputies. This is what Marine Le Pen let appear on Tuesday July 2.

“We cannot agree to go to government if we cannot act,” insists Marine Le Pen, on France Inter, she does not want “betraying his voters”. But she specifies that if her party approached an absolute majority, for example with 270 deputies, the RN would seek to attract “a certain number of deputies, for example various right-wing, various left-wing or even members of the Republicans who have expressed proximity in the past” with the RN, reference to the few LR elected officials who have already voted for a motion of censure filed by the far-right group.

“If we have a majority at that time, we will go.”explains Marine Le Pen. A position that is debated within the party with the flame. A strategist argues in another direction: “If we lack even one elected representative to have a majority, we will be at the mercy of the goodwill of a 289^e deputy who would swing the majority”he explains. Only the RN group and the group of the official ally Éric Ciotti would be reliable, according to him.

Marine Le Pen also provides details on her vision after July 7. In the event of a victory for her camp, she does not intend to join the government or seek the seat in the Assembly, but will remain president of her group, which would become the majority group in the Assembly. “I will not be a second Prime Minister”insists Marine Le Pen, who says she has “respect” for Jordan Bardella. On the other hand, she assures that the government of Jordan Bardella is “ready”. “It will be complete, competent, it will be made up of people from the RN, people who participated in the electoral fight and people from civil society”, she said, specifying in particular that the person assigned to the Ministry of the Economy knows public finances and businesses.

The RN continues to claim the competence of its recruits and yet is forced to pull the plug on some of its candidates. A candidate who poses with a Nazi cap – even though the photo was taken at a weapons fair several years ago – Ludivine Daoudi has been asked to withdraw from the race in the first constituency of Calvados, in Caen. A “bad taste photo”, judges the departmental delegate of the RN. Another case, to say the least, astonishing, in the 2^e Jura constituency: a candidate still in the running has proven ineligible. Thierry Mosca has been placed under guardianship, his possible election could be annulled by a judge. The party with the flame has not yet decided on its future.
