Emmanuel Macron “is doing everything today to try to counter the democratic process”, declared Marine Le Pen, Tuesday on France Inter, while calls to block the RN multiply. The National Rally MP was elected in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais in the first round of the legislative elections with 58% of the vote. Emmanuel Macron “considers, even if the people express themselves by sending a majority of RN deputies, preventing the RN from governing”adds Marine Le Pen.
The RN MP thus suspects “an administrative coup” from Emmanuel Macron, referring to “rumors” according to which Emmanuel Macron would favor express appointments to various key state positions: “The President of the Republic would consider tomorrow, that is to say four days before the second round, appointing the director general of the national police, while he was supposed to stay until the end of the Olympic Games, and the director of the national gendarmerie and dozens of prefects, and a whole series of people whose objective would be to block, to prevent in reality Jordan Bardella from governing the country,” she denounced.
Marine Le Pen points out that last Wednesday, “There were a huge number of appointments made, much more than at a traditional Council of Ministers”. On the proposal of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, General Bellanger was appointed Chief of Staff of the Air and Space Force and Admiral Vandier Supreme Allied Commander for Transformation at NATO, in particular. “When you want to counter the result of the elections by appointing your own people so that they prevent you from being able to lead the policy that the French want, I call that an administrative coup d’état. I hope that this is only a rumor, which is possible.”she says.
According to Marine Le Pen, by declaring the dissolution of the National Assembly, Emmanuel Macron “has a democratic impulse”but “He quickly recovered because today he is doing everything to try to prevent, in reality, the people from being able to express themselves”she said. The RN leader is considering “as far as possible” to return to these appointments “to be able to govern”. She denounces the method : “For people who give lessons in democracy to the whole world, I find it quite astonishing to act in this way. In these cases, it was not necessary to dissolve,” she estimated.
