In the hubbub of election night, as disorderly as the mess looming in the Assembly, remarks by Éric Dupond-Moretti went almost unnoticed.
Until Monday morning when they were rebroadcast and the rebels opened fire on the Minister of Justice.
Sunday evening, around 8:30 p.m., speaking against MEP Thierry Mariani, former LR who joined the National Rally in 2019, Éric Dupond-Moretti suggests that the presidential camp, forced to find allies to obtain the majority for its future bills, could work with the far right.
“When a text is proposed, there are a certain number of amendments, sometimes they are presented by the thousands to block the system.
Is that what the French want, I think not.
On the other hand, they undoubtedly want us to be able to move forward with a lot of common sense.
It is actually in the National Assembly that we will see how we try to move forward together” on texts relating to security or justice.

Reach out to "fachos not angry", according to the expression of Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the start of the in-between rounds?
At the very least, an astonishing posture on the part of the former criminal tenor, who has always proclaimed his almost atavistic opposition to the theses of the Front then of the National Rally and who had applied for the regional elections to challenge Marine Le Pen.
"A drift into the most total cynicism"
“Unvarnished, the outstretched hand… to the RN!
“, tackles this Monday morning the deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain (Nupes-LFI).
“LREM bears a heavy responsibility in the current situation.
After having returned back to back left and extreme right, the calls of the foot of Dupond-Moretti to the RN mark a drift in the most total cynicism ”, denounces for his part Olivier Faure (Nupes-PS).
#LREM bears a heavy responsibility in the current situation.
After having sent the left and far right back to back, Dupond-Moretti's foot calls to the RN mark a drift into the most total cynicism.

What if EDM's appeal was a concerted strategy?
Sunday evening on France 2, facing Philippe Ballard, elected RN in the Oise, the president of the MoDem François Bayrou released an astonishing "I don't know if it's called extreme right".
And this Monday on France Info, while 70% of Together voters abstained in the event of a Nupes / RN duel, Aurore Bergé replies: “Unfortunately we had cases where it was complicated to define who was the most Republican candidate.
Watch a duel between François Ruffin and the RN, ”said the vice-president of LREM.
“There are many (differences) with many of them”, summarizes the re-elected deputy in Yvelines.
On RMC this Monday morning, the still boss of LREM Stanislas Guerini qualified.
The Minister of Transformation and the Public Service instead called for "negotiating, and not only with Les Républicains, but with all the benches of the hemicycle, (and) all those who will find an interest in advancing the good reforms for the country”.
Are compromises with Nupes therefore possible?
"La Nupes is very heterogeneous, I believe that with each other, yes, when the texts are good, we can find majorities", he replied.
But to clarify: "We are not intended to make a kind of government contract with the RN or with anyone".
