Guest of Political Questions on France Inter, associated with France Info and
Le Monde
, Gérald Darmanin judged that
"the demagogic proposals"
in terms of security of the far-right candidates were to be put
"in the same basket"
, like those of the leader of the right Valérie Pécresse who proposed to send
"the army in the
difficult districts".
"Mrs. Pécresse, Mr. Zemmour and Mrs. Le Pen"
are
"candidates of the past"
, added the Minister of the Interior, ex-LR.
“We understood where the congruent part of the right that were the LRs is now going: towards the far right”
, continued Gérald Darmanin.
"This is what had prompted Ms. Pécresse in the past to leave the LRs which were 'wauquierising', she said"
, he said, referring to the departure in 2019 of Valérie Pécresse from the party, then led by Laurent Wauquiez .
“The Zemmour-Le Pen debate over television channels is becoming clumsy and does not interest many people”
, he judged, the day after two of their meetings, respectively in Lille and Reims.
He questioned
“the polarization towards two terrible children of the French political class, in which Mrs. Pécresse wallows”
.
“The Gaullist, liberal, centrist, European right, which is concrete and pragmatic, which has no hatred of foreigners, but which considers that order is needed in our country, naturally supports the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron “
, not yet declared a candidate – but it’s just like, editor’s note.
- assured the minister.
