Laurent Jacobelli, the spokesperson for the National Rally, was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo”, Monday November 18, 2024. Agricultural crisis, RN trial, budget and 49.3…He answered questions from Salhia Brakhlia and Jérôme Chapuis.
“Mr. Macron is the architect of what is happening today” concerning the agricultural crisis, estimates Laurent Jacobelli, spokesperson for the National Rally and deputy for Moselle, invited this Monday on franceinfo. He explains that he does not trust to the President of the Republic on the free trade agreement with the Mercosur countries“a terrible deal for our farmers“.
“He said he would refuse to sign the agreement with Mercosur 'as it stands', which means he plans to sign it later.“, adds the elected RN for whom “having given the keys to Brussels to negotiate free trade agreements, having dispossessed itself of this national capacity to negotiate, of this sovereignty, this is part of Emmanuel Macron's project“. According to Laurent Jacobelli, Emmanuel Macron “has no power to stop” the agreement alone.
“Michel Barnier broke all the red lines” estimates Laurent Jacobelli on the subject of the examination of the 2025 budget. The RN deputy leaves the threat of censorship of the Barnier government, in the event of use of 49.3 in the context of the 2025 budget.
“We hope that he will remain faithful to his promise from the beginning, to listen to the opposition. What we are asking for is simple: no tax on electricity, indexation of pension inflation from January 1st, no fiscal attacks on the middle classes, SMEs or VSEs.“, continues Laurent Jacobelli.
“If the Prime Minister does not change, he is indeed moving slowly but surely towards censorship and exit“, he concludes. Everything “depends on him”, “he has his fate in his hands“.
Asked about the penalty of ineligibility required against Marine Le Pen in the trial of the RN's European parliamentary assistants, Laurent Jacobelli considers the situation “disproportionate. What other politicians have failed to do, what a whole bunch of bodies have failed to do, it is not up to a prosecutor to do.“, insists the deputy who denounces a political trial.
“We do not accept this circumvention of the people. That a prosecutor can decide in place of the people who can be president of the Republic or not. We are shocked by this“, says Laurent Jacobelli.
