Another piece in the machine. Already accused by the left of having “stolen” the legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron revives criticism after having declared before the Council of State that it was necessary to “always take into account” the “suffrage” of the French.
“I am appointing a right-wing Prime Minister in order to take this into account in the best possible way,” jokes LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard, on X, while LR finished in 4th position in the legislative elections and has 47 deputies in the National Assembly.
“Making fun of people is something he usually does. Doing it so openly is unprecedented,” chides communist senator Ian Brossat.
For his part, Olivier Faure denounces “provocations”, responding to the statements of both Emmanuel Macron and Édouard Philippe. The latter, interviewed on BFMTV, saw “no drawback” in the appointment of ministers already present in the government, even if the presidential camp lost in the legislative elections.
