Today, the deputies will vote the entire text on separatism carried by Gérald Darmanin.
"It was necessary to engage urgently on these republican questions, we strongly wanted this text to reach the National Assembly",
argued the president of the Left Radical Party, Monday, on the set of "Talk Le Figaro".
Assuring that his party has been raising this subject for years,
"we had a lot of trouble making it heard by being on the left,"
regrets Guillaume Lacroix, who has been at the helm of the party since February 2019. He adds that
"often the left seems wanting to lose interest or not to tackle this subject ”.

Pleading for a peaceful vision of the text, Sylvia Pinel's successor defends a constructive and positive approach from the PRG deputies on the subject but above all invites the executive to assume its responsibilities.
“We must not hysterize this debate,”
insists Guillaume Lacroix, who feared to see Gerald Darmanin maneuvering on this text.
Convinced that the text should have been carried by the Minister of Justice, Eric Dupond-Moretti,
"in my opinion
,
he had more legitimacy and perhaps more ideological background to propose on this issue",
maintains the boss of the PRG.
Because, to his great regret, the text created a duel between Darmanin and the RN,
“as if the adjustment variable today in this country, the standard against which we measure its political positioning, is 'is what Marine Le Pen says, ”he
denounces.
He says that what the latter says does not interest him.
"
Marine Le Pen makes her nest like the cuckoo, she comes to lay her eggs in the nests that the others have left empty
", points out the quadra.
"We can not play with the Republican conceptions as we play the sorcerer's apprentice",
he said against the executive.
We must not fight against diversity, we must fight against the enemies of the Republic
Guillaume Lacroix
"People on the left are giving voice to try to hysterize this debate, to flee it, not to confront it",
he still judges
,
thinking particularly of a part of LFI.
Hammering that the PRG has always been clear on republican questions,
"we cannot enter this debate as in a technical debate",
considers Lacroix, because
"it is a philosophical debate, of civilization, of politics",
he argues.
The subject of separatism
"cannot and must not be a means that the authorities implement to try to fight against the FN".
The real subject, according to him, is
"the Republic that must be maintained, saved, grown and made accepted by all".
The president of the PRG wants to be very clear:
"We must not fight against diversity, we must fight against the enemies of the Republic."
