Jordan Bardella, visiting the Châlons-en-Champagne fair, demanded on Saturday of the new Prime Minister Michel Barnier that “ the subjects of the National Rally ” be taken into account by the future government, considering that the tenant of Matignon was “ under surveillance ».
« Mr Barnier is today at the head of a future fragile government in which he will have to integrate into the concerns, into the actions which will be his, the subjects which are those of the National Rally”Jordan Bardella told reporters.
“I hope that the Prime Minister and the future government can not only get to work, but that they can be attentive to the demands that are now ours. And I believe that from this day on, Mr Barnier is a Prime Minister under surveillance (…) of a political party that is now essential in the parliamentary game. ” he added.
Michel Barnier, without an absolute majority, will be under permanent threat of a motion of censure from the National Rally, far from the periods of cohabitation under the Fifth Republic.
The RN will have “a role of referee”, believes Bardella
M. Barnier « expressed a number of concerns during the primary (of the right in 2021) on the issue of immigration, with extremely strong positions. Now, we expect on the issues of migratory security and on the issue of purchasing power that the subjects that we have brought up can also be found in the policy that he will lead”added the RN boss.
On TF1 on Friday evening, Michel Barnier praised his “ ability to negotiate ” and assured that he “ respected ” the voters of the National Rally even if it has not “nothing in common” with the far-right party.
« We have, we will undoubtedly have a role of referee in the coming months and from today “, assured the leader of the RN, because “ political life in its functioning can no longer do without a political movement which has 143 deputies in the National Assembly ».
He specified that between Lucie Castets, candidate of the New Popular Front for the post of Prime Minister, and “ Mr Barnier, I have chosen to make the lesser evil possible and it was preferable for us to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr Barnier rather than to Ms Castets. “. But this “ does not mean that we are prohibiting all forms of censorship in the coming months ” he warned.
«I am under the surveillance of all French people. The government is under the democratic surveillance of all French people and all political groups.“, declared Mr. Barnier on the sidelines of his first trip as head of government, to the Necker hospital in Paris.
