POLITICS – While the New Popular Front (NFP) has put “solemnly” Emmanuel Macron warns once morest keeping Gabriel Attal at Matignon, accusing him of ” to block “ the appointment of a Prime Minister from its ranks, left-wing politicians are not giving up.
Proof of this is this proposal from Adrien Quatennens made on his X account (formerly Twitter). The former La France Insoumise deputy from the North, who had withdrawn his candidacy for the legislative elections, contested because of his conviction for domestic violence, wonders if he might not hold a “large popular march towards Matignon”explaining that ” the people “ should “to make yield” Emmanuel Macron, “the only sovereign that the Republic knows”.
A proposal warmly welcomed by the rebellious deputy of Val-de-Marne Louis Boyard, assuring Tuesday on BFMTV that he would go ” obviously “ to this march if it saw the light of day.
This is not the case for Manuel Bompard. On LCI this Wednesday, July 10, the LFI coordinator cooled the ardor of some of his colleagues, as you can see in the excerpt below. “If it can reassure you, France Insoumise is not calling for a march on Matignon (…) We make someone say something they didn’t say.”he replied on the morning show set, insisting on the « point d’interrogation » content in Adrien Quatennens’ tweet, showing according to him that it is not a call to demonstrate.
Just before that, however, he had shared “what Adrien Quatennens says” on Emmanuel Macron: “The President of the Republic gives the impression of looking for every way to ignore the results of the elections”. “Yes, there must be the conditions for a popular mobilization to say “no, Mr. President of the Republic, you must respect the result of the legislative elections”he added. The President of the Republic cannot multiply the shenanigans to ensure that the result of the elections is erased.
Carole Delga and Benoît Payan trash the idea
In the New Popular Front camp, this proposal for a march has irritated some, starting with the socialist Carole Delga. Adrien Quatennens “has no legitimacy, calling for marches is completely irresponsible”criticized the president of the Occitanie region on TF1. “This makes no sense. The country does not need this. (…) What is this way of doing things?”protested the various left-wing mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, on BFMTV the day before.
This Wednesday morning, Gérald Darmanin on Europe 1 and François Bayrou on BFMTV pointed out the side “factious” of this proposed march.
Marine Le Pen also pointed out the“factious attitude” of those who “call for taking Matignon by force”. “This is their assault on the Capitol.”she said this Wednesday when arriving at the National Assembly with the deputies of the National Rally, in reference to the invasion of the seat of the American Congress, in January 2021, by supporters of Donald Trump who contested the results of the presidential election.
Finally, for Aurore Bergé, Adrien Quatennens “no longer has any legitimacy to express himself, he is no longer a deputy, he is no longer an elected representative of the Republic”. “It’s unbearable to hear this, everyone should denounce these remarks, we don’t march on Matignon”the Macronist elected representative from Yvelines was indignant on France 2.
