A blow that made “pschitt”. For Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, the vote by the National Rally of the motion of censure of the Nupes did not obtain the expected effect: “The RN has chosen to deny its convictions to sow the disorder. It didn’t take much longer than four months for the masks to fall off. This blow made pschitt, it is a failure “, he summarized this Tuesday on CNEWS.
Same story for the Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal, for whom this vote marks a turning point in the opposition. “What happened yesterday was a moment of change, since we saw the National Rally vote the motion of censure. We have seen the leaders of Nupes, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon, say: We needed 50 votes to take power. We, that is to say the left and the far right, ”reacted Gabriel Attal, guest of France 2.
Asked about an “alliance” between the two formations, the minister decided without appeal: “It is claimed in the expressions of the leaders of Nupes. The deputies of socialists and ecologists find themselves laundering extreme votes. »
“The voters who trusted these deputies, they thought that the left was going to continue to dig dikes with the far right, they discovered that they were building bridges”, he added, before returning to the vote which finally resulted in the maintenance of the executive: “It was a moment of truth, the reality is that if we have a relative majority, there was no majority to overthrow the government. »
“The Fifth Republic is in a state of decay”
“There is a little music that says that the Nupes would be the far left. But our objective is to take power, we stand for the vote, we have formed a coalition. That does not put us in the position of being on the extreme left. What’s the point of calling us extreme left? This is to further blur the political landscape. We have visions almost in every way opposite with the RN ”, retorted Clémentine Autain on the antenna of RTL.
According to her, the National Rally (RN) wanted to “demonstrate that LR supports government policy”, before denouncing “a government which advances by force and clings to the worst of the Fifth Republic”. “The Fifth Republic is in a state of decay,” she denounced.
The right kicks into touch
On the side of the right, they deny any alliance with the government. “We did not defeat censorship, we opposed those for whom the means do not matter, as long as chaos occurs. (…) Everyone knew it was a fool’s game. (…) We did not save the government, we acted responsibly, ”defended Public Senate Annie Genevard, LR deputy.
“We want to avoid this debate at the polls between Mr. Mélenchon and Mrs. Le Pen, a choice that would be terrifying for our country, justified on BFMTV the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes Éric Ciotti, candidate for the presidency of the party. The alliance between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen does nothing good for the country. »
