“Chick”. This is how Marine Le Pen responds, after Emmanuel Macron hinted that she could dissolve the National Assembly, in the event of an unfavorable vote on the pension reform.
“Very well, that he [le] do,” said the head of deputies of the National Association (RN) on BFMTV-RMC. “Going back to town never poses any problem for me, so kid.” The three-time presidential candidate says she has “no difficulty” going back to the field.
A threat directed at LR
Same echo on the side of Sandrine Rousseau. “Come on, let’s go back to campaigning,” provoked the ecologist deputy from Paris on Sud Radio. He had previously deplored this threat from the President of the Republic, declaring:
“It’s unbearable, it’s really the ‘they’re going to punish you if you don’t vote well’ thing. But after all, we are still in a democracy, we have the right to vote against a reform if we consider it unfair. and dangerous for people.
Even so, the President of the Republic was pointing neither to the extreme right nor to the left. His message was rather directed at the elected Les Républicains (LR), whose support for pension reform is essential for the relative majority. Very divided, they make the members of the presidential field sweat, unable until now to have the security of an absolute majority.
However, LR deputies could be concerned about a dissolution of the National Assembly, the latter being members of a party weakened by their disagreements and Valérie Pécresse’s hungry score during the last presidential election. Hence the threat from Emmanuel Macron. However, the legislative elections following the pension reform could also weaken their field.
