The attack displeased Emmanuel Macron. Invited on Radio J, last Sunday, Elisabeth Borne considered that the National Rally was the "heir of Pétain" and bearer of a "dangerous ideology". She added: "I don't believe at all in the normalization of the National Rally. I think you shouldn't trivialize your ideas, your ideas are always the same. So now the RN is putting the forms on it, but I still think it's a dangerous ideology."
In the Council of Ministers, the Head of State did not spare his Prime Minister. Without targeting it by name, Emmanuel Macron judged that "the fight against the far right no longer passes through moral arguments".
During the international briefing, while the news in Spain is addressed to recall that there were going to be right and extreme right alliances there, the President of the Republic thus let go: "You will not succeed in making millions of French people who voted for the extreme right believe that they are fascists." One participant said: "It's weird, it's still super frontal, he's not used to doing that, yet he looked in a good mood elsewhere.
