“The Republicans are the only candidates in the 577 constituencies of France which will be free”declared on franceinfo Pierre-Henri Dumont, deputy of Pas-de-Calais and deputy secretary general of the party, criticizing the agreement reached on the left in view of the legislative elections which did not “for the sole purpose of having Jean-Luc Mélenchon elected Prime Minister”.
According to him, the left like the National Rally and the presidential majority use these legislative elections “in the interests of their party leader”. “When do we talk about the French? Never! It’s only us who talk about it”, he says.
No agreement possible
Pierre-Henri Dumont considered that an agreement on the right with the RN was not possible. “We have nothing in common with the RN, which looks a lot more like LFI than the Republicans”, he attacks. “We have a line of conduct and we stick to it, unlike socialists and environmentalists who ally themselves with a populist”, adds Pierre-Henri Dumont.
On the side of the presidential majority, the deputy of Pas-de-Calais does not fear an initial hemorrhage. “The LR deputies are loyal to their constituents, he assures, and those who will be candidates under a double label LR and En Marche will be excluded from the Republicans”, as would those who would become ministers. According to him, Emmanuel Macron has not changed, “with him, we know that in the end, there will only be cuckolds”.
