Asked about the possible appointment in this government of her niece and former MP Marion Maréchal, who had criticized her aunt's strategy in September, Marine Le Pen replied "why not".
“Marion is a bright young woman, who was an MP, who is now in civil society.
If she wants to come back to play politics tomorrow, if she wants to represent civil society, why not, ”said the candidate for the Elysee Palace.
The far-right leader also cited as possible Minister of Justice the MEP Jean-Paul Garraud, former UMP MP and current RN candidate for the regional in Occitanie, and as possible Minister of the Environment MEP Hervé Juvin , former advisor to Raymond Barre, and champion of a civilizational, protectionist and identity ecology, candidate of the RN in the Pays-de-Loire.
Marine Le Pen did not give a name for the post of Prime Minister, nor for that of Minister of the Economy, but assured that "these are not the names that are lacking for this ministry".
"The best of the right and the best of the left"
The head of the RN stressed that she was "not afraid of power".
“I am not afraid of power.
I do not back down from an obstacle ”.
Marine Le Pen also said that she "did not see power as Emmanuel Macron sees it" and that she intended "to listen and especially to give a voice to the French".
“The French have tried everything in the last 30 years, the right and the left, they haven't seen much difference.
I come to offer them to be at the same time the best of the right and the best of the left, and I tell them:
look at
what our mayors have done
, and do not believe these trials in witchcraft which are starting to date
", she added.
"The accusations of xenophobia make no sense"
Marine Le Pen also indicated that, if she was elected, her first political decision would probably be to "organize a referendum on immigration", specifying that she was "not afraid of foreigners".
"I have no negative feelings towards foreigners, I have no hatred, I have no fear of foreigners," said the extreme right leader.
Immigration, continued Marine Le Pen, “I just consider it bad for my country.
I just see the negative effects of illegal immigration, which weighs on our public finances, which is one of the elements of the worsening of insecurity in our country, which generates disturbances to public order, which we must take charge ".
And the boss of the National Rally to reject any accusation of xenophobia: “When you see that I came out on top, including the Europeans, in Overseas, you realize that these accusations of xenophobia have no meaning.
