"All options are on the table" ... except those of the RN and LFI.
Olivier Véran, the Minister of Relations with Parliament, on Wednesday excluded the National Rally and La France Insoumise from the majority that the government seeks to constitute to pass its laws.
The latter would not be, according to him, "in the Republican arc".
"What is on the table is to identify a majority to be able to move forward, reform and transform our country", explained the minister on BFMTV and RMC.
“All options are on the table.
It could indeed be an enlargement of our majority, the continuation of the centre-left/centre-right going beyond it, why not an even wider enlargement to tell each other
the time is serious, we have to be able to unite our forces and find points of consensus to reform the country
, or it can be a project-by-project majority system, sometimes with the left, sometimes with the right,” he explained.

But “to do the calculation in anticipation that thanks to the voices of the RN we would pass a text that we would not pass without them, it is no, nor moreover with the LFI”, he immediately clarified.
“We are in the Republican arc”
The RN and LFI are two parties with which we are not "considering working concretely to build a majority", he assured.
“Neither the far left nor the far right.
We are in the Republican arc, we carried these values during the campaign, these are values that we have at heart, ”he insisted, distinguishing them from communists, ecologists, socialists and Republicans.
