The counter-fire operation continues.
In recent days, the Macronists have wanted to prove that they have nothing in common with the ideas of the National Rally, contrary to what a large part of the left asserts.
Invited Wednesday on Europe 1, Christophe Castaner wanted to provide irrefutable proof: in the event of a second round between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen in 2022, the president of the LREM group in the Assembly would vote for the candidate of La France Insoumise.
"Not an enemy of the Republic"
“I make a real difference between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. I would support Jean-Luc Mélenchon at that time
, ”he said, although he added that
“ the hypothesis ”
of this second round was
“ quite unlikely ”

"a republican"

Those who abandon it make the bed of the National Front ”,

"We must make the difference between opponents who can win an election and people who even challenge living together,"
continued Christophe Castaner, who believes that the project
"Marine Le Pen does everything to prevent fraternity
.
