“There is absolutely zero chance, thank god, that Jean-Luc Mélenchon will become Prime Minister”, stings Christian Jacob
For Christian Jacob, the president of the Les Républicains party, the agreement between LFI and the PS, “it’s everything and anything”. “I put myself in the place of the socialist militant, deeply republican who line up behind La France insoumise. We know rebellious France: they have an idea, it’s chaos, blockage, they only think about that, this staging is incredible “criticized Mr. Jacob on France Inter.
“Everyone knows that, of course, there is absolutely zero chance, thank god, that Jean-Luc Mélenchon will become prime minister. Besides, all this is comm grub, electoral grub”estimated Christian Jacob.
What does he think of the historically low score of his presidential candidate, Valérie Pécresse, who finished below the 5% mark. “We failed to open the jaws between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. We failed, we are not going to beat around the bush”conceded the leader of the right-wing party.
However, there is no question of joining Emmanuel Macron or Horizons! the party of the former prime minister and current mayor of Le Havre, Edouard Philippe: “Why do we refuse the idea of a single party? Because we do not recognize ourselves in anything in the policy of Emmanuel Macron. Those of us who have been there, what is the outcome? Edouard Philippe set fire to all the roundabouts in France by being completely closed, obtuse, not understanding the country by increasing fuel taxes”he replied, continuing: “The cost of energy is really a concern, which is why we are going to make a series of proposals on lowering fuel prices. But we propose a golden rule: stop the financial mismanagement, do not increase the level of debt further, in relation to the gross domestic product”.
The LR party is in favor of the idea of a reform to push back the legal retirement age to 65, but Christian Jacob absolutely does not believe that Emmanuel Macron can carry it. “Emmanuel Macron is incapable of carrying out any reform whatsoever, by dint of doing “at the same time”, incapable of having a line on anything! It’s anything and everything, no vision on anything! »tackles the president of the right-wing party, extolling the fact “never to have changed” on their side.
