Valérie Hayer attacks Raphaël Glucksmann but is caught in the act of fake news

POLITICS – Tell me what you vote for, I will tell you who you are… provided you are not mistaken about the vote in question. During the debate between the heads of the European election lists organized Tuesday May 21 by LCI, Renaissance candidate Valérie Hayer criticized her opponent Raphaël Glucksmann for a vote by the Socialists – with whom he is allied – in the National Assembly. But her argument backfired.

The Macronist candidate wanted to show alleged differences between “what you say on the sets at European level and the reality of what your partners are doing in France”.

Raphaël Glucksmann is, with Valérie Hayer, the candidate most favorable to massive support for kyiv. But the first has the wind in its sails in voting intentions, while the second is lagging behind. Hence the importance for the latter to try to stand out on the Ukrainian issue.

And to try to do so through the vote on the military programming law adopted in France in July 2023. “When I hear Raphaël Glucksmann say that we have to pull out all the stops and engage in a war economy, I would like to ask you: why the socialists in the National Assembly refused to support the military programming law (LPM) which allowed us to accelerate our French defense? »she asked.

Except that the socialists supported the military programming law. Of the 10 PS elected officials present during the July 12 session, all voted in favor, as shown by the analysis of the vote posted online on the National Assembly website.

“Fake news” and “lies”

“The excitement of a bad campaign does not justify everything! »replied the group’s president Boris Vallaud, sharing the extract from the session where the socialist speaker announced the group’s vote. “Lie: like 100% of the PS deputies present during the final vote (after the shuttle and the CMP), I voted for the military programming law. Being reduced to spreading fake news says a lot about the collapse of Valérie Hayer’s campaign”supports MP Jérôme Guedj, on the same line as several of his colleagues.

Just a few weeks before the June 9 election, the Renaissance list led by Valérie Hayer fails to convince. In the poll compiler of the HuffPostit is credited with 16.1% while opposite, the PS/Place Publique alliance of Raphaël Glucksmann reached 13.6%.
