Eric Coquerel doubts the ability of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen to have a majority in the legislative elections
After Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s good score in the first round of the presidential election, La France insoumise (LFI) has decided to turn to the legislative elections. In an interview on BFM-TV on Tuesday evening, the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône asked the French to « [l]‘elect Prime Minister “ by voting for a “majority of rebels” and of “members of the People’s Union” in these elections.
On Franceinfo this Wednesday morning, the LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis, Eric Coquerel confirmed that, in their eyes, “the legislative elections are the fight that continues. It’s the third round. » He also does not believe that the winner of the presidential election, whether Emmanuel Macron or Marine Le Pen, can win an absolute majority in the National Assembly, as La République en Marche was able to do in 2017.
“We are in a different context. Whoever wins, it won’t be a wave like we had in 2017he believes. At the end of this election, we have three equidistant poles: the neoliberal pole embodied by Mr. Macron, the far-right pole of Mr.me Le Pen and the popular pole embodied by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. » For Mr. Coquerel, whether because «Du bilan» of Mr. Macron or ” from the program “ of Mme The pen, “it will not be easy for them to have a majority in the country”. By winning the legislative elections, the “rebellious” might propel Jean-Luc Mélenchon to Matignon. They wish “to impose the policy decided by the people at the national level”from the conclusion of M. Cookel.
