Invited to Europe Matin on Wednesday, the president of the National Rally reacted to the results of the Nupes in the first round of the legislative elections. Asked about the possibility of a success for the coalition of left-wing parties in the second round on June 19, Jordan Bardella sounded the alarm.
In the first round of the legislative elections last Sunday, Together! and Nupes came out on top in the votes. Results commented on by Jordan Bardella on Europe 1, a few days before the second round. For the president of the National Rally, this represents a risk. According to him, Jean-Luc Mélenchon can indeed transform the hemicycle into a “squat”.
Mélenchon, “a Macron in a hurry”
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon may not have the opportunity to be Prime Minister, but he can make the National Assembly a gigantic squat, a ZAD, with behind him all the most dangerous ideologies for France and the French Republic”, said Jordan Bardella at the microphone of Dimitri Pavlenko on Wednesday.
Marine Le Pen’s right-hand man also felt that Jean-Luc Mélenchon “is a Macron in a hurry”. “Jean-Luc Mélenchon explains to us that the police kill. Emmanuel Macron tells us about police violence like the left and the far left. Emmanuel Macron welcomes hundreds of thousands of people each year in our country and Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to regularize everyone”, he continued before concluding. “Both belong to the camp I call the ‘deconstructors’. People who want to deconstruct our national identity and our ways of life.”
