The news surrounding the anticipated legislative elections is evolving at 200 miles per hour. Yesterday was another day still full of emotion, and it was only Wednesday! If you had trouble following everything (and we understand), find the essential things to remember in our recap:
Eric Zemmour, furious at the choice of Marion Maréchal and several Reconquête executives to vote for candidates supported by the RN in the legislative elections, excluded Marine Le Pen’s niece from the Reconquête! party.
To justify this choice, he denounced on BFMTV a “betrayal” of the MEP who had just called to vote for the candidates supported by the National Rally in the early legislative elections.
While the PS and the PCF do not want to see him settle in Matignon, Jean-Luc Mélenchon declared Wednesday evening that he felt “capable” of being Prime Minister of a left-wing government in the event of victory of the new “Front popular” in the legislative elections.
“I know what my contribution is to the life of the left. I say the following: we are going to stick to the formula proposed by Olivier Faure, it is the most important parliamentary group which proposes a Prime Minister”, he however procrastinated on France 2. “I do not does not eliminate me but I do not impose myself,” he also clarified.
Big day ahead for Gabriel Attal. The Prime Minister will make his first campaign trip this Thursday to Boulogne-sur-Mer, in Pas-de-Calais, the electoral stronghold of the National Rally.
After a stint on France Inter, he will go “on the ground, in contact with the French” in support of Jean-Pierre Pont, majority candidate in the 5th constituency of Pas-de-Calais for the election of June 30 and July 7 . He will end his day on the Quotidien show on the TMC channel.
Hello everyone. Throughout the campaign, the editorial staff 20 minutes is mobilizing to give you all the information from the political class. By following this Live, you will be able to find out if this Thursday will be as punctuated by many twists and turns as yesterday.
Wednesday saw the right experience a real psychodrama. The Republicans were torn apart like never before: a political office unanimously decided to exclude President Éric Ciotti, isolated in his choice to form an alliance with the RN. The fire also broke out at Reconquête. Accusing him of “betrayal”, Éric Zemmour in fact kicked Marion Maréchal out of the party. And there too, it was the strategy vis-à-vis the RN which caused tensions to explode.
