Lucie Castets received by Emmanuel Macron, a “favorable gesture”

Marine Tondelier receives a “favorable gesture” from Emmanuel Macron, who agreed to receive NFP candidate Lucie Castets with the party leaders of the left-wing coalition on Friday August 23. “He receives us first in the protocol order. It is because, somewhere, he recognizes our order of arrival at the legislative elections. It was about time!”she greets.

“I see no other solution than the appointment of Lucie Castets” at Matignon, “I think that if there was a better solution, Emmanuel Macron would have implemented it a long time ago”analyses Marine Tondelier. “I understood that he didn’t really want to. It’s his right. But I think that when you are President of the Republic, you have to fit into the institutional logic of the country.”she adds. “We are ready”, concludes the environmentalist, recalling that a future NFP government is already formed, without however citing names.

The threat of impeachment brandished by La France Insoumise “logical”

“The source of the problem initially is [Emmanuel Macron]it’s his stubbornness”believes Marine Tondelier, while La France insoumise threatens to initiate impeachment proceedings against Emmanuel Macron. A procedure that the Ecologists do not “do not share”, she specifies however.

On this point, Marine Tondelier claims “different sensitivities” within the New Popular Front.

“Emmanuel Macron is locking himself away by refusing to say that he will refuse to change course, this is extremely worrying. Faced with this concern, everyone reacts in their own way. The Insoumis react, it is logical, in a rebellious way. Is this the ecological way? The answer is no. Do we have the right not to share this? The answer is yes.”she reacts. “Everyone has the right to do what they want, we are not a barracks”, she adds.
