There are the now legendary clashes between Rachida Dati and Clémentine Autain, then those between the former government minister Sarkozy and the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo… and now, enter the book of frontal attacks, two new political figures that are Elisbateh Born and Marine Le Pen.
This Tuesday, July 12, 2022, in the hemicycle, the president of the RN challenged the Prime Minister on a very particular subject: “the expulsion of foreigners found guilty of serious acts by the courts“.
“We have been defending this measure for decades. (…) We can already tell you that we will vote for this measure tomorrow. So Madam Prime Minister, while waiting for the vote on this measure, can you already show us your willingness to act by enforcing the obligations to leave the territory the OQTFs [obligations de quitter le territoire français, ndlr] whose application today remains 90% a dead letter?“, launched Le Pen to Borne.
“You had not read candidate Emmanuel Macron’s program since this measure was there”began by responding to the one chosen by Emmanuel Macron for Matignon. “I will not seek the votes of the National Rally. There will always be something that comes between us. It’s called values.“, she continued.
“My DNA, my spine is called the Republic. So yes, I’ll tell you again, Madame Le Pen, my identity is freedom, it’s equality, it’s fraternity, it’s secularism. […] And as Prime Minister, it is around these values that I want to gather and only around them. These values, Mrs Le Pen, you may try to appropriate them, I am convinced that, in fact, you do not share them.“, concluded Elisabeth Borne who, obviously, does not lack repartee.
