“It is extremely clear. » For Marine Le Pen, there is no doubt: the line of the National Rally (RN) on the profile of the future prime minister is legible and linear. Obscurely clear, then, since not everyone in the party is sure of having understood the line, or even of sharing it. No doubt because the leader of the extreme right, pointing with his thumb down at the names of Bernard Cazeneuve, Thierry Beaudet or Xavier Bertrand, has shown in recent days a firmness that contrasts with the attitude of wait and see observed in the previous legislature.
Since 2022, the RN compares the immediate motions of censure of La France insoumise (LFI), against Elisabeth Borne and then against Gabriel Attal, as so many positions; from nature to “blow up institutions” or to incline France towards a “dietary crisis”. A motion of censure “announced even before the speech. [de Gabriel Attal] discredits those who presented it”decided M.me Le Pen in February.
After the legislative elections, the principle seemed to have not changed, when Renaud Labaye, his right-hand man in the National Assembly, stressed to public opinion Worldthat no government, not even that of the New Popular Front, would be censored a priori: the extreme right would wait to hear its general policy speech, listening to possible “agreed guidelines”. Before being denied the next day by a tweet from Marine Le Pen: “The RN group will censure any government in which the LFI and environmentalists have ministerial responsibilities. »

There was a relative majority. Today there is none.”She explains to him WorldAnd since mid-July, the MP for Pas-de-Calais has been broadening her demands, emboldened by the comfortable position in which Emmanuel Macron has placed her. The red lines are moving. To the “rebel” and ecologist ministers she has added a left-wing prime minister: this is what she criticises Bernard Cazeneuve for. “We fundamentally oppose their indications”says M.me Le Pen. However, several of his deputies, off-screen, believe that François Hollande’s former prime minister deserved his chance.
