The RN suggests Macron's resignation if the Barnier government (which he threatens) is overthrown

POLITICS – The day after. Faced with the disaster film produced by the executive and the common base in the event of censorship by the Barnier government – spokesperson Maud Bregeon evokes a “ Greek scenario » – the National Rally says it is ready to press the button and blames Emmanuel Macron for a possible crisis.

To the point of pushing for the resignation of the head of state? Two executives of the Lepéniste party in any case suggested the idea, this Sunday, November 24, in quick succession, presenting the departure of the President of the Republic as a way to get France out of the blockage. A way to increase the pressure even further before a high-risk meeting between Marine Le Pen and Michel Barnier on Monday morning in Matignon.

“We are completely responsible people, we know the consequences that censorship would have,” explained the vice-president of the party Sébastien Chenu on LCI, listing the different “possibilities” available to Emmanuel Macron in this scenario: “rename the same Prime Minister, reappoint a new Prime Minister, trigger a referendum, resign if there is no other solution. »

Macron « could take responsibility »

A few hours earlier, it was his colleague Philippe Ballard on franceinfo who mentioned the early departure of the head of state, if the government is overthrown at the end of the budget review. Asked about the consequences and “the sequel” of such an event, the deputy for Oise mentioned “ a solution: Emmanuel Macron will also be able to take his responsibilities. » And added: “ We don't have to call on him to resign. He could take responsibility. It could be one of the exit doors. »

With these exits, the far-right party joins certain voices on the left who are pleading even more openly for the departure of the head of state. At France Insoumise, we actually imagine this hypothesis (or the dismissal of Emmanuel Macron) as the only possible way to respond to the brewing political crisis.

« We have a duty to demand impeachment” of the President of the Republic, explained Jean-Luc Mélenchon in mid-November, the founder of the rebellious movement who sees himself competing in an early presidential election.

Recently, it was the Somme deputy François Ruffin who also urged the President of the Republic to “ think seriously » upon his departure. “ What do we do? I ask you. I would like the question to be asked of the President of the Republic who made all these choices », he pleaded last November 21 on franceinfo, accusing him of having “ reduced France. »
