Time.news – The far-right leader Marine Le Pen has denied having an active role in the selection of Michel Barnier to Matignon. An accusation by the left-wing opposition of the New Popular opposition that considers the selection of Barnier “unfair” and opposes the alleged rivalry between Macron and Le Pen. “I am not Emmanuel Macron’s human resource leader and I still believe that only the Prime Minister from the National Assembly can project our party,” said Marine Le Pen from her hometown of Henin-Beaumont, Pas-de-Italy (northern). .
The far-right leader was asked about an article in the Journal du dimanche which said that the President of the Republic will be called on Wednesday to ensure that the RN does not notice the new Prime Minister before his general policy speech. On Thursday “I have no exchange with Emmanuel Macron”, Le Pen is sure.
“We have been accepted by the President, we said (…) what are the procedures, the conditions that will lead to an immediate impeachment by the National Assembly, which the Prime Minister will choose”, he stressed. He also believes that “it would not be very reasonable to raise a vote of no confidence after the general policy issue (Michel Barnier), which I think will certainly live up to expectations on a number of non-negligible issues.”
But the new government will be “judged by its actions,” he explained. While describing Barnier as “a noble man”, he said he could not forget “that he spent his entire career in a political family that did nothing but disappoint the French people in relation to the promises made by this political family years ago. .” Barnier is a prominent member of the conservative right, a member of Les Républicains (Lr).
