While most of the speakers at the majority’s first meeting on Saturday harshly attacked the RN, François Bayrou warned this Sunday not to “make the National Rally the only subject” of the European campaign. “I think in a way it’s giving him a gift,” he added.
Emmanuel Macron’s camp must not “make the National Rally the only subject” of the European campaign, François Bayrou warned on Sunday, while most of the speakers at the majority’s first meeting on Saturday harshly attacked the RN . “I do not believe that the solution is to make the National Rally the only subject of the electoral campaign. I think that in a certain way, it is giving it a gift,” said François Bayrou, guest of BFMTV.
“They all gave bad advice.”
“So, we must naturally confront our representatives with their responsibilities, and God knows if their responsibilities in this matter are considerable,” added the president of the MoDem. “The number of times they came – not only them, Mélenchon’s friends too, and those of Zemmour – to your set to say: ‘It’s not true that Putin would attack Ukraine’, ‘What is -what they would do in Ukraine’… That’s not how things happened. They all gave bad advice, the anti-Europeans,” continued François Bayrou.
“Usually, European elections are about politics. That is to say power struggles, speeches, promises, criticisms.” But “this is not at all the situation today,” judged François Bayrou. “Today, the situation is, to say the least, historic. That is to say that the essentials of what we experience and what we believe have been put at stake, was threatened and has been threatened every day for two years” by the Russian invasion in Ukraine, said the mayor of Pau, seeing it as “a shift similar to what happened in the 1930s” with Hitler and Stalin .
