Among reproaches for the fact that he did not explicitly speak of "confinement" or criticism of his "war rhetoric", the national union was already feverish after the intervention of Emmanuel Macron Monday, March 16, in the evening. But the temperature of the opposition rose sharply during the day on Tuesday, after the words of Agnes Buzyn reported by Le Monde.
First to draw: Jean-Luc Mélenchon. "Dismaying confession" that "it is impossible to let pass without raising anything", judges on Facebook the leader of LFI who had already denounced the day before the "vagueness" of the Elysian announcements. "Does she realize that she engages her criminal responsibility and that of the other people she says she has warned? ", Wonders the head of the LFI group in the National Assembly who requests that the Coronavirus fact-finding mission take up this question.
"How not to be revolted?"
Chiche for the right. "The fact-finding mission must not obscure any subject: it is not there to do political politics but it must not mask any reality, reacts to the Parisian president of the LR group, Damien Abad. We preserve national unity, necessary for the protection of the French. But if what Agnes Buzyn says is true, it will be a real political tsunami. "
Attacking without seeming to jump at the chance when thousands of French people are likely to die: this is the delicate balance sought by the opposition. “It is time for a sacred union to protect the French. But the serious words of Agnès Buzyn cannot go unanswered ”, summarizes on Twitter LR number 2, Guillaume Peltier. Even the very polite European deputy François-Xavier Bellamy, while calling to remain "united", wonders: "But how not to be revolted? "
"We are going towards a case of contaminated blood at scale 10", we choke in the early afternoon in the entourage of Marine Le Pen. Excessive? "And again, we hold back our blows. If we let go, it would be much more severe. We try not to be controversial so as not to add difficulty to the management of the health crisis. " Missed. At the end of the afternoon, the president of the RN spoke on CNews of a "very serious state scandal". "Madame Buzyn will probably have to give explanations to the Court of Justice, perhaps the High Court (Editor's note: who can judge the Head of State) will have to be seized", she thunders. And to quote General Mac Arthur: "All defeats come down to two words: too late ". To take out his weapons, the number 1 opponent to Emmanuel Macron therefore did not wait.
