The outgoing president of the RN deputies was the guest of the CNEWS-Europe 1 Big Interview this Friday, June 28. Marine Le Pen returned to the title of chief of the armies of the President of the Republic, which she considered “honorary”.
Indeed, Marine Le Pen declared this Thursday that it was an “honorary title since it is the Prime Minister who holds the purse strings”. A position which caused the presidential majority to react, who believed that the outgoing MP was wrong.
“Emmanuel Macron needs to reread the Constitution. In reality, the question was ‘did Jordan Bardella go beyond his potential prerogatives, if he is Prime Minister, by saying that he would not send soldiers on the ground in Ukraine?'”, reacted Marine Le Pen.
For the finalist of the presidential election, “the Constitution allows it since it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister to send or not armed troops. It is article 20 of the Constitution, the government has the armed forces, that’s how it is.”
“So the whole Constitution, nothing but the Constitution, in this case, it is on the basis of this Constitution that I had the opportunity to indicate this. I am surprised that the President of the Republic does not know this,” she said ironically.
