For Marine Le Pen, the representative of NUPES is not worthy of being an opponent of Emmanuel Macron, believing that he got him re-elected. She called on her voters to mobilize to avoid a bad result on Sunday.
Asked about Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Marine Le Pen, on BFM, insulted him about his positions towards the police. “Mr. Mélenchon accuses the police of being murderers, that should discredit him for any political responsibility of importance” she admitted. The candidate also attacked the media, saying that “Mélenchon is the darling of the media”. “In the newsrooms, there is a majority of Jean-Luc Mélenchon voters. The media pretended to believe his huge lie, no one believes it. He has zero chance of being Prime Minister,” she argued.
She called on voters “not to entrust the role of opposition to someone who, together with his political friends, contributed to the re-election of Emmanuel Macron”. “It is in the Assembly that the retirement at 65 will be decided, which we will oppose. It is at the Assembly that the measures on purchasing power will be decided when the French are unable to fill their candies and finish their end of the month. It is to the Assembly the price of energy that they will pay in the months to come. It is up to the Assembly to decide if we control immigration or if we leave it as it is today, out of control, do we increase the penalties and create justice worthy of the name or is what we leave total impunity to delinquents, thugs and criminals” she listed. For the presidency of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen did not announce that she was going to take over the leadership of the party: “These are things that we will determine after the elections” she avoided.
Marine Le Pen calls for “the presumption of self-defense for the police”
Regarding the case of the refusal to comply, the RN candidate claims “the presumption of self-defense for the police” regretting that they are “systematically implicated” including by “politicians, which is even more serious” according to she. Emmanuel Macron announced this week the establishment of new police and gendarmerie brigades, unconvincing announcements for the candidate of the National Rally. “Every time Emmanuel Macron says something, he always has electoral ulterior motives. Two days before the first round of the legislative elections, he realizes, when he has been in power for five years, and even more, that there is a security problem… Well yes, there is a huge security issue. In reality, it does not offer anything serious, ”said the candidate in Nord-pas-de-Calais.
“We must stop massive and anarchic immigration, this is the first thing to do to fight against insecurity. 95% of street crime is committed by people who are immigrants or from immigrant backgrounds (…). Then, we need minimum sentences, certainty of sentences, build prison places, Emmanuel Macron makes fun of the problems of insecurity of the French, “she explained.
