Guest on BFMTV in the show Face à Face hosted by Apolline de Malherbe, Wednesday December 4, Éric Coquerel did not mince his words with regard to Michel Barnier. The Prime Minister’s intervention Tuesday evening, on TF1 and France 2, clearly did not convince the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis, who described him as a man on a “mission” rather than a truly committed leader. And to summarize that in his eyes, the current tenant of Matignon was “quite pathetic” during his interview.
“By clinging to this position of Prime Minister, to which he was not initially necessarily very committed, Michel Barnier shows a weakness », Estimated Éric Coquerel. The rebel also underlined the absence of political legitimacy of the Prime Minister, recalling that he does not have a majority in the National Assembly, but that he relies on a coalition which he describes as “a rout “.
A policy serving the rich, according to LFI
In a broader analysis, Éric Coquerel denounced what he considers to be an unequal orientation of the policy pursued by the government of Michel Barnier. “It is a desire at all costs to maintain a policy which enriches the richest”, he said, denouncing an economic line that he considers contrary to the general interest.
The MP also regretted the lack of conciliation in Michel Barnier’s approach, which he described as “a man of the right, not very conciliatory”. A criticism which is in line with the usual line of LFI deputies, fiercely opposed to the policy pursued by the executive. Éric Coquerel will be responsible for defending at the podium the motion of censure tabled by the New Popular Front.
According to him, this motion represents a real chance to end the mandate of Michel Barnier, which he considers weakened by limited support in Parliament. The RN has also already announced that it should vote on the NFP’s motion of censure.
