The French president, Emmanuel Macronconsider that the National Group (RN) of Marine Le Pen It is not part of the “republican arc” because it does not share some of its values and it will not count on that party to approve the “important texts” in Parliament.
In an interview published this Monday by the communist newspaper L’Humanité, Macron makes a point that may be relevant in the approach to his legislative proposals and the action of his Government, after some controversial statements by his prime minister, Gabriel Attal.
The head of state points out, referring to the RN, that «in the National Assembly (lower house) are all the forces elected by the people. Does that mean that they all adhere to the Republic and its values? No. That is also the case for extreme left groups.
Without giving names, he adds that “some personalities from The Rebellious France«, LFIthe radical left party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon“they fight the values of the Republic.”
Although he then points out that, although he does not put the extreme left and the extreme right in the same bag, “I have never considered that the RN o Regain (the formation of the ultra Eric Zemmour) are part of the ‘republican arc’.
And regarding the RN parliamentarians, Macron affirms that the principle he has established is that “important texts should not be approved thanks to their votes.”
A few days after his appointment as prime minister in January, Attal had assumed his intention to work “with everyone” in the National Assembly, even with the parties he has said he radically opposes, the RN and La Francia. Unsubmissive
