The New Popular Front, “a scam presented to the French”, believes Arnaud Robinet, mayor of Reims

The Attal government has officially resigned but remains in charge of current affairs, probably for at least “a few weeks”. A regime that still allows the government to act but in a limited way. For example, it will be able to issue decrees for appointments or orders.

“They are unable to agree”

Meanwhile, the left is still divided over its candidate for Matignon. Huguette Bello, president of the Réunion region, announced on Sunday that she was “immediately declining the offer” to become Prime Minister, due to a lack of consensus between all the components of the New Popular Front (NFP). Laurence Tubiana, who has been frequently cited in recent days, is considered too “Macron-compatible” by the Insoumis.

This inability to reach an agreement over the past ten days shows the “anarchy” that the New Popular Front represents, according to Arnaud Robinet, Horizons mayor of Reims, guest on La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews on Wednesday.

“This Popular Front was a scam presented to the French. They are incapable of reaching an agreement and besides the French, by their vote, have shown that they do not want the Popular Front,” he said on Europe 1.

“The Popular Front means more taxes, more insecurity, more immigration”

“The Popular Front means more taxes, more insecurity, more immigration. The French don’t want it!” thundered Arnaud Robinet, asserting that the National Assembly is now on the right. “The Assembly is on the right. It is a right-wing government bringing together centrists and the moderate right which must obviously have this majority, admittedly relative, but this majority in the National Assembly.”

This difficulty in reaching an agreement within the ranks of the NFP also reveals, according to the mayor of Reims, their inability to govern. “How could the Socialist Party have fallen into the trap of La France Insoumise? It is a real trap that has been set for them. Jean-Luc Mélenchon was the first to speak on the evening of the second round of the legislative elections, it was a symbol, a sign showing that LFI was ignoring its partners in the Popular Front. It is a real scam that has been presented to the French and the French today see the true image,” he concluded.
