Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French far right, has accused President Emmanuel Macron of planning a coalition government that goes against the will of the voters. She claimed that Macron’s actions amount to an “administrative coup” aimed at preventing the implementation of policies desired by the French people.
In an effort to broaden her support base, Le Pen announced that she will not join a potential government led by Jordan Bardella and will not run for the presidency of the National Assembly. She pledged to respect Bardella’s role as prime minister if such a government were to form. Le Pen emphasized the need for a majority to effectively govern, stating that they must be able to act in the best interest of the country.
Looking towards the future, Le Pen indicated that she will focus on leading the National Rally deputies in parliament in the coming years. She has not confirmed whether she will join Viktor Orban’s new European group, stating that she will make a decision after the results of the upcoming runoff elections. Le Pen stressed the importance of these elections for the future of France.
