for Marine Le Pen, Emmanuel Macron “took into account the RN’s criteria in choosing his Prime Minister”

The new head of government “seems to have the same view on immigration as we do”, said the president of the RN deputies in an interview with “La tribune dimanche”.

Why is the National Rally (RN) showing itself, for the moment, lenient with Michel Barnier? Emmanuel Macron “took into account the RN’s criteria in choosing its Prime Minister”said Marine Le Pen in an interview with The Tribune Sunday published on September 8. “Michel Barnier seems to have the same view on immigration as we do”she noted, recalling what the current occupant of Matignon had defended during the Republican primary in 2021. “He is at least aware that immigration is a major problem”she added.

Marine Le Pen assured that her “wish not[était] not to cause a blockage”. “If we had wanted to, we would have done like the New Popular Front and threatened to censor everyone. That is not our state of mind.”she continued, warning that “This government will obviously be under surveillance”.

Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally (RN), declared on Saturday that the RN had chosen to grant him the “benefit of the doubt”. The fact of not having chosen “censorship a priori” does not mean that there will be no “censorship in the coming months”he warned.
