“The only one who will not overshadow our in-laws is him.” Nicolas Sarkozy, who had lunch this Tuesday, September 19, with the deputies of Les Républicains, gave some advice to his political family, from which he distances himself. In fact, the former President of the Republic recommended that parliamentarians from the right-wing party approach the executive and even join it in the event of a possible restructuring.
“Once inside, a balance of power is established and Emmanuel Macron is forced to follow right-wing policies, which is not natural for him,” he explained to the LR deputies present according to comments collected by The Parisian.
“We never know the body of a car in the garage. But in the government we see if it resists after two months or not,” he explained.
Voting on a motion of censure “would add chaos to chaos”
Nicolas Sarkozy, who admitted not having voted for the LR list in the 2019 European elections, also sent a message to Republican deputies: do not vote on a motion of censure during this legislature.
An attitude that, according to the former president of LR, “is not in the DNA of the right” and “would add chaos to chaos.” Finally, Nicolas Sarkozy asked that Les Républicains be only a fundamental group in the National Assembly and a silent opposition, his “obsession.”
“Silence, you will have enough silence when you are in the cemetery,” the former president of the Republic also said.
