Following the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly by Emmanuel Macron on Sunday June 9, early legislative elections will be held in France on June 30 and July 7. The National Rally of Jordan Bardella called for a “rally” quite quickly, targeting in particular Reconquête and Les Républicains (LR).
And this Tuesday, the president of the RN declared on RTL that he would support several LR candidates in the next legislative elections. “In the candidates that my political movement will support for these legislative elections, there will not only be people from the National Rally, there will also be people from the Republicans,” announced Jordan Bardella, before adding : “And I really call on the Republicans to stop being Emmanuel Macron’s political crutch”.
“Political suicide or a stroke of genius?” : the dissolution of the National Assembly, a leap into the unknown for Emmanuel Macron and his camp
Comments that made Republican candidates react. Xavier Bertrand, LR president of Hauts-de-France, called on Éric Ciotti, president of the Republicans, to clarify the party’s position in relation to the RN. “The DNA of the Republican right is never the extremes, never the National Front, never Marine Le Pen. It has always been my fight and it will remain so,” proclaimed Xavier Bertrand.
