Gérard Larcher believes that the presidency of the finance committee of the National Assembly “should return” to the National Rally, because it is “the first opposition group”
Emmanuel Macron is “responsible for the defeat” of his camp in the legislative estimates, Wednesday, Gérard Larcher, the president of the Republicans of the Senate, in an interview at Parisian. The country “may be difficult to govern”and “For my part, I want dialogue in the interest of France”he explains.
While the Head of State on Tuesday refused the resignation of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, Mr. Larcher judges that she “is not responsible for the defeat, it is the president”. “A profound change of attitude is necessary on the part of the president” given his political record and the “historic defeat” of his camp, he insists.
As for dissolving the National Assembly, “He has the prerogative, but the sovereign people have just decided. We must be wary of dissolutions of comfort”. “It is really in the event of a blockage of the country that the Constitution has provided for this exit door, by giving the floor back to the people”, recalls the President of the Senate. Now it’s up to Emmanuel Macron ” to make suggestions”said Mr. Larcher, noting that meeting with party leaders as the head of state did on Tuesday, “should be a habit”.
the “political record” by Emmanuel Macron “is the result of the verticality of its governance” and demonstrates “the limits of” at the same time”: 72 deputies for LFI and 89 for the RN”and “the republican front has disappeared”.
LR side, “we are clearly in opposition”, (…) but we have as a line of conduct the interest of France and the French”he assures.
Should we work with the future National Rally group in the Assembly? “We do not have the same history and do not share the same values, but they are elected representatives of the Republic”, replies Mr. Larcher. And the presidency of the Finance Committee of the Assembly ” should [leur] come back “because “the RN is the first opposition group”.
At a time when the President of the Republicans, Christian Jacob, is about to leave his post, Gérard Larcher judges, moreover, that the party can “find a political space between a macronism that has just failed and the two extremes”. Laurent Wauquiez, often quoted to take over from Mr. Jacob, “Of course has the qualities, but we haven’t opened this sequence yet”believes Mr. Larcher, emphasizing that he himself will be “the defender of unity and unity”.
He “regret” moreover that Nicolas Sarkozy has “choose to leave his political family” by supporting majority candidates. “The page is turned”he concludes.
