Nicole Belloubet will have “no difficulty” in voting for LFI in the second round “to block the RN”

“There is no difficulty” to vote for an LFI candidate who is a member of the New Popular Front coalition in the second round of the legislative elections to block the RN, “except in very specific situations”said Nicole Belloubet, Minister of National Education in the Attal government, on Sunday June 30.

“There is indeed today a risk that the National Rally will win. It seems to me that faced with this situation, we must be extremely clear and block the National Rally”she said. The minister specified that, for “LFI candidates who made manifestly anti-republican or anti-democratic remarks”the Ensemble coalition could “have a case-by-case look”.

“But in an extremely majority way, except in a few exceptions, clearly, from my point of view, we must block the National Rallyshe clarified. The situation is still serious and so I believe that, with few exceptions, we must use our votes to beat the National Rally candidate.”.

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal called on Sunday evening for “withdrawal of candidates whose remaining in third position would have led to the election of a National Rally MP over another candidate who, like us, defends the values ​​of the Republic.”
