Gabriel Attal has decided to return the blows, while the oppositions do not hesitate to strongly criticize the government on its management of the health situation or the Afghan crisis. In an interview given to
Le
Parisien on
Wednesday, the government spokesman castigates the two main right-wing candidates in the presidential election. “
Between Xavier Bertrand and Valérie Pécresse, I sometimes have the impression of hearing 'Monsieur Y is only' and 'Madame Must we'
”, he attacks.
If he says he has "
respect
" for their word in view of their "
experience
", he nevertheless considers that they have a "
duty of humility because the governments to which they belonged have not shown great asylum and immigration effectiveness
”.
"The absence of real proposals"
The spokesperson, who considers
the political struggle
“
legitimate and healthy
”, nevertheless regrets “
the absence of real proposals
”. “
I heard Madame Pécresse say that she is 'two thirds Merkel and one third Thatcher'. For the moment, it is mostly two-thirds without a program and a third without ideas,
”he says. He also asks the president of Hauts-de-France "
a little humility
": "
Valérie Pécresse was the Minister of the Budget who withdrew 12,500 police officers and gendarmes from our streets. We are rearming them,
”he says.
Moreover, like Olivier Véran a few days ago, Gabriel Attal also deplores the “
summer silence
” of the oppositions.
“
When there was a race against time between the vaccine and the variant, when some people raised fears against vaccination, sometimes with shameful slogans, where was the Republican union?
», He asks, denouncing«
this absence on all the benches
».
"
For me, claiming the presidential office means assuming one's responsibilities in all circumstances,
" he adds.
A left without "any idea" or "common line"
Asked about Anne Hidalgo, whose “
silence
”
he also denounces
on the subject of vaccination, Gabriel Attal took the opportunity to attack the left.
“
I only see people quarrels, no idea.
And for good reason, they have no common line on Europe, growth, secularism,
”he tackles.
He also believes that the union of the lefts "
is above all a mirage or a screen
".
"
A large part of the people who are in the PS are closer to us than to Jean-Luc Mélenchon
" he adds, like a call of the foot.
