An RN deputy believes that Najat Vallaud-Belkacem should not have been minister because of his dual nationality

On June 27, outgoing RN MP Roger Chudeau said on BFMTV that a member of the government could not be binational because this posed a “problem of dual loyalty”, taking the example of the former Minister of Education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem whose appointment was “a mistake”.

Course from Arabic CP

Asked about the jobs that the National Rally would prohibit to citizens holding dual nationality in the event of accession to power, the elected representative mentioned ministerial jobs, citing a “specific example”: “Najat Vallaud Belkacem, Franco-Moroccan , what did she do ? She destroyed the college public and above all she wanted to introduce Arabic lessons in CP,” he said.

“She herself said that she was a sort of gateway, a bridge, between Morocco and France. She claimed it as a quality,” he added, referring more generally to “a problem of double loyalty at a given moment.”

The appointment of Ms. Vallaud-Belkacem to Education (2014-2017), “I think it was an error, and not a good thing for the Republic,” insisted Roger Chudeau, for whom “ministerial positions must be held by Franco-French people, period.”

The RN, given favorite legislative elections on Sunday, announced at the start of the week his wish to “prevent” people with dual nationality from occupying “extremely sensitive jobs” whose list will be defined “by decree”.

RN boss Jordan Bardella took the example of a boss of nuclear power plant and MP Sébastien Chenu spoke of sectors “particularly linked to security and defense”.

“She is the best of the Republic and you are its shame”

“What applies to a senior civil servant must obviously apply to a minister, that is enough “logical,” declared the elected representative of Loir-et-Cher. Who then made it known on X that his position on Ms Vallaud-Belkacem was “a strictly personal opinion, and in no way commits the RN.”

This outing sparked several indignant reactions, including that of PS deputy Boris Vallaud, husband of Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, who spoke of a “gross lie.” Gross liar.” “She is the best of the Republic and you are the shame of it,” he continued.

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem challenged Emmanuel Macron on the same platform: “Do you endorse this? If not, you know what you have left to do faire : commit yourself, each time you come third, to withdraw in favor of the candidate who respects the values ​​of the Republic. »

As for the leader of the Green Party deputies, Cyrielle Chatelain, she pinned down “the entire exclusionary and racist logic of the RN” which “differentiates THE French people among themselves according to their origin, their place of birth”.

The outgoing president of the Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet considered for her part that “the true face of the RN is still there: an uninhibited racism, a sorting between THE French “.
