2024 legislative elections
PURCHASING POWER
The Prime Minister castigated the facade of the “purchasing power party” of the National Rally, believing that all the measures announced by the far-right party had finally been withdrawn from its program.
SECURITY
Gabriel Attal defended his record in terms of security, recalling the “thousands of hiring” of law enforcement officers over Emmanuel Macron’s two mandates, while conceding that this remained “insufficient”.
TAXES
The Prime Minister recalled that his camp is the only one not to consider a tax increase, recalling in particular the abolition of the housing tax.
GABRIEL ATTAL
“It is the choice of the President of the Republic”, evaded Gabriel Attal on Europe 1 and BFM, regarding the rushed timetable for early elections.
“DON’T REIGN YOURSELF”
“Don’t resign yourself to choosing between the National Rally and rebellious France,” said Gabriel Attal, guest of Laurence Ferrari on CNews and Europe 1.
LAURENT BERGER WILL NOT GO TO MATIGNON
To the question of whether he could be Prime Minister in the event of a victory for the left in the legislative elections, Laurent Berger’s answer could not be clearer. “No, I made the choice to withdraw from public life (…) I made this choice to embrace a career in the private sector. Today, my duty is to speak, and I can assure you one thing, it is that my life, as it is today, including professionally, it is a life that satisfies me and I am very happy where I am”, declared the former secretary general of the CFDT.
“What I want is not to live in a country that would be governed and presided over by the National Rally,” added Laurent Berger to our colleagues from France 2 this Monday morning.

LR-RN ALLIANCE: THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE PRESIDENT OF YOUTH LR
“I believe I correspond to the line which is defended by the majority of right-wing voters. It has been almost a fantasy for years for right-wing voters to be able to ally themselves with the National Rally, because we have 90 % of points of convergence, because we have an emergency in the country, there are French people who are suffering, and we want to respond to all these emergencies”, explains on LCI Guilhem Carayon, candidate for the LR alliance -RN in Tarn and president of Jeunes LR.

END OF LIFE
“This is the first text that I hope Parliament will continue to examine.” Yael Braun-Pivet expressed his attachment to the end-of-life bill, the debate on which was stopped short by the dissolution of the National Assembly.
“GREAT COALITION”
Yael Braun-Pivet hopes for a “clear majority” of a “grand coalition” for normal functioning of the National Assembly after July 7. She considered that the previous mandate had demonstrated that consensus was possible, recalling that she was not responsible for the use of article 49-3 by the government.
“WOODLITES”
The expression “woodlice” to designate the president’s advisors made the outgoing president of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet “smile” on France Inter. Without using the expression as her own, she also castigated advisers who were “far from the concerns of the French”.
JORDAN BARDELLA “UNEXPERIENCED”, ACCORDING TO GERALD DARMANIN
“Mr. Bardella has never managed anything (…) He has never been mayor, I don’t believe that he has ever managed an association or a company. I think we have someone very inexperienced and I believe I know that it takes a little experience, all the same, to lead a country like France”, estimated Gérald Darmanin this Monday, interviewed by our colleagues at RTL. “This great inexperience makes me, personally, very afraid,” added the Minister of the Interior.
BINATIONAL
“We are going to reduce the possibilities of being French, like that, by whistling,” explained Sébastien Chenu on TF1, specifying the program of the National Rally. He thus indicated that he did not plan to put an end to dual nationality, but to remove dual nationals from sensitive positions.
“WEAKENED PRESIDENT”
The vice-president of the National Rally, Sébastien Chenu questioned the presidential credibility, the day after Emmanuel Macron’s “letter to the French”, during his interview in Bonjour!, on TF1. He considered that the tenant of the Élysée was “weakened”, recalling that several of his allies had recently distanced themselves.

Above all, by saying measure “the democratic malaise”the head of state admitted that “the way of governing must change profoundly”.
Gabriel Attal said he expected this election “an additional legitimation” which would strengthen him in his position. An advantage that he intends to exploit through a change “in the practice of power”he assured on the stage of the Grand Jury RTL/M6/Le Figaro. “The message that was sent to us” with the Europeans “it is also obviously that in the method, in the governance, we must do better (…) by seeking coalitions with the French, with civil society”he detailed.
Saturday evening, Jean-Luc Mélenchon reiterated his “intention to govern this country”. “If I have a message to convey, it is that Jean-Luc Mélenchon (…), if he wants to be of service to the New Popular Front, he must put himself aside, he must shut up”, ex-president François Hollande, himself a candidate in Corrèze, squealed in return on Sunday in front of journalists. Mr. Mélenchon responded to François Hollande, from Montpellier where he was holding a meeting, by asserting that “popularity is not on the side he thinks”as boos were heard from the audience when he mentioned the former president’s name.
