For National Rally MP Laure Lavalette, guest of RMC-BFMTV this Tuesday, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau gives the impression of being a “spokesperson for the RN” after his latest positions.
All starboard! The appointment of Bruno Retailleau as Minister of the Interior causes the government to take a turn to the right. The RN is not mistaken and is even happy about it. “When we listen to Bruno Retailleau, we have the impression that he is a spokesperson for the RN, who understood what the French want on immigration,” assures this Tuesday on RMC and BFMTV, the spokesperson for the RN group in the National Assembly, Laure Lavalette.
“When you want to expel foreign delinquents to protect our children, we can only agree. When you want to impose double punishment, expel foreign delinquents, control your migratory flows, we can only agree,” assures the elected official.
With some reservations, however. “We know the LRs. They often talk like us during the electoral campaign and when it comes time to govern, they govern like Macronists. More legal immigrants returned with Nicolas Sarkozy than with Lionel Jospin just before,” notes the MP of the Var.

The RN agrees with Bruno Retailleau on the rule of law?
“We have the impression in any case that Bruno Retailleau has the political will and so much the better, it will be that less to do when we come to power,” adds Laure Lavalette.
Even Bruno Retailleau’s remarks on the rule of law please the RN, while the new Minister of the Interior considered that it was “not intangible, nor sacred”. “It is a set of rules, a hierarchy of norms, judicial control, a separation of powers, but the source of the rule of law is democracy, it is the sovereign people,” he said. -he affirmed.
For Laure Lavalette, “what Bruno Retailleau wanted to say is that the rule of law is not immutable and this is more or less what Laurent Fabius said,” assures the RN deputy. “We see it in the sad case of Philippine. Almost all the magistrates say that the law was respected and that the suspect was released after reduced sentences and released from the CRA. When that no longer protects, then we must change the law,” she explains.
“Censorship is not a game”
Under these conditions, there will be no immediate censorship of the government by the RN. “We judge a tree by its fruit,” warns Laure Lavalette. “Censorship is not a game, we don’t censor like the far left can do, which wants to mess up institutions. We’re going to give the product a chance. When we listen to Bruno Retailleau, we understand that at migration level, the government understood what the French were expecting.
The elected official, however, doubts that there will be a real turning point in security “when we hear the Minister of Justice”, Didier Migaud, former socialist deputy and left-wing guarantor of Michel Barnier’s government.
