In an interview with our colleagues from The voice of the North Thursday, Gérald Darmanin estimated that a victory for Marine Le Pen in the presidential election of 2027 is “quite likely” in the event that the presidential camp “[laisserait] spinning a majority of the working and middle classes” in the ranks of the National Rally. “Like what Gérald Darmanin can be clairvoyant from time to time”, quipped Philippe Ballard, spokesperson for the National Rally, guest of Europe 1 Matin Friday.
“Two political blocks” oppose each other
“In five years, a victory for Madame Le Pen is quite likely. Faced with this, we will only need one candidate. And that we do not rely only on the winners of globalization and the elected representatives of the cities, because that does not make 51% of the votes”, declared the Minister of the Interior in the columns of The voice of the North. However, according to the deputy of Oise, Gérald Darmanin is one of the “winners of globalization”.
“There are two blocks in France. There is a block which is embodied by Marine Le Pen, by the National Rally, which speaks and respects the French above all. And you have another block, embodied in particular by Emmanuel Macron and his majority, including Gérald Darmanin who is one of them. They are the winners of globalization”, he decided.
Darmanin is part of the “elite bloc”
This last block would be ignorant of the problems of the French, according to the spokesman of the National Rally. “The French are far-sighted, they know their daily lives, they know their everyday concerns. Once again, it’s purchasing power, it’s insecurity, it’s immigration. Mr. Darmanin, him, he can say what he wants, he is a supporter of globalization, of this elite bloc”, he continued.
The Minister of the Interior who does not hide his ambitions for the future presidential election. He is organizing his political comeback this Sunday on the theme of “the working classes” in his electoral stronghold of Tourcoing.
