The presidential camp’s party came third in the first round of the legislative elections. A result that betrays a loss of momentum in Emmanuel Macron’s policy according to opposition elected officials, interviewed by RTL and Télématin.
“It no longer represents a majority of French people.“Like Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the National Rally, invited onto the Télématin set this Monday, July 1, many opposition figures consider that Emmanuel Macron is no longer credible as President of the Republic. The day after the first round of the legislative elections, the presidential majority suffered a setback by coming in third place in the vote, distanced by the New Popular Front and especially the National Rally, in the lead.
“The very strong disavowal of the President of the Republic must be taken into account“, estimated Sébastien Chenu facing Thomas Sotto.”It no longer represents a majority of French people, far from it, but it is also an extremely small minority in the country.“The vice-president of the National Rally does not question the constitutional legitimacy of Emmanuel Macron, democratically elected in the last presidential election. However, he underlines a “complicated situation” : “If Emmanuel Macron no longer has the possibility of appointing a Prime Minister who is not censured by the National Assembly, he will be forced to leave“, he added.
“Emmanuel Macron is clearly out of the game“
Asked by RTL about the lack of clarity in the voting instructions of the presidential camp, Manuel Bompard considered that there was “a form of cacophony“. “Emmanuel Macron is not in a position to call for any gathering whatsoever!” underlined the LFI deputy, candidate for re-election.
“If there is a first defeat in this legislative election, it is him!“, points out Manuel Bompard again. “Emmanuel Macron is clearly offside. The Macronist camp does not have the possibility of having an absolute majority, so I do not believe that it is very well placed to call for a rally around it.“
