A possible coalition with “more social justice” for Marine Tondelier

The LR president of Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand, pleads in favor of a “parliamentary democracy” as an alternative to a National Assembly without a majority. “There comes a time when you have to be able to say ‘we’re not denying ourselves, but we’re trying to see how we can move forward'”he explains.

“If we avoid an absolute majority at the RN next Sunday, we will have to get to work intelligently”he says. “The groups in the Assembly will have to be able to say: ‘the time for parliamentary democracy has come'”he specifies.
