“Why doesn’t Michel Barnier join us at the RN?” asks Gard MP Pascale Bordes

Could it be because she has frequented courthouses a lot that she is more sincere when asked to judge a man? Even when he is a political opponent. To the question: what quality did Michel Barnier demonstrate during his general policy speechPascale Bordes, the National Rally MP for Gard Rhone, responds. Without detour, where an elected official with a more “political” profile would undoubtedly have evaded. “Resilient”she said. Professional deformation therefore, perhaps, for those who are lawyers by profession. “Resilientshe continues, because the Prime Minister overcame the obstacles with great elegance and a touch of humorunderlines the person concerned. He didn’t care about the whistles or the jeers coming from the left.”.

It must be said that the Gard MP had reason to be seduced by Michel Barnier, more on the substance than on the form of his remarks. Pascale Bordes, precisely, underlines this. “I heard he was covering some of the proposals for Marine Le Pen’s presidential program“she rejoices. The measures that the Prime Minister has outlined, particularly on the security aspect, are consistent with the positions of the National Rally. Among them: the multiplication of shorter and more quickly executed sentences for offenders. “That being said, to bring people into prisons which are already overcrowded, we have to get them out. And there are a multitude of foreign prisoners who have nothing to do there”pleads the elected RN.

Proximity or alliance of circumstance?

On this subject, Pascale Bordes calls for more people subject to an Obligation to Leave French Territory (OQTF) to be sent back to their country of origin. The objective, again, is shared by the new tenant of Matignon. To facilitate these expulsions, Michel Barnier has in fact promised toextend the legal retention period in administrative detention centers. He also mentioned his intention to limit visas granted to countries that are reluctant to issue consular passes.

So many common points which inspire Pascale Bordes to ask this question, tinged with irony. Or not, the left would no doubt say. “Why doesn’t Michel Barnier join the RN?” One thing is certain: given the political balance within the new Assembly, the new Prime Minister must strengthen his right leg. Otherwise, the National Rally could, in the medium term, submit a motion of censure against his government. “At this pointjudge the RN deputy of Gard, you have to give the product a chance.”
