Rachida Dati calls for a coalition between the presidential camp and the Republican right

While Emmanuel Macron has been consulting political leaders since August 23 with a view to finding a new Prime Minister, the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati “call” Wednesday August 28 on France Inter to a coalition between the presidential camp and the Republican right, inviting “the statesmen and women of [sa] political family to participate”. “It is the voice of responsibility”she assures. The resigning minister believes that these two camps must “working together in the interests of France”.

Rachida Dati considers that it is possible “to find common ground” on the concerns of the French, particularly mentioning “purchasing power, security, control of immigration, and reduction of inequalities”. “We are in an unprecedented moment of the Fifth Republic. We must find political leaders to try, in the interest of France, to work together”adds the resigning minister. For Rachida Dati, this coalition can also go “up to the social democrats”THE “socialists fighting, disagreeing among themselves on the line”.

Nearly two months after the second round of early legislative elections, the head of state has not yet appointed a new executive, provoking the ire of the opposition. The New Popular Front did propose the name of senior civil servant Lucie Castets, but this candidacy was rejected by Emmanuel Macron. This decision was strongly criticized by the union of the left, with the leader of the communists Fabien Roussel denouncing a “coup de force” and calling for the “popular mobilization”.

On Wednesday August 28, Rachida Dati retorted that “the coup de force” is rather on the left side: “A coup de force is when you are in the minority and you call for an insurrection, a demonstration against the institutions”says the resigning minister. Rachida Dati accuses “the left is a prisoner of its sectarian wing”. “She decided not to be useful to the country”she castigates.
