No sanitary cordon with the RN.
Guest of France 2 Thursday evening, a few moments after the announcement of the second wave of the reshuffle, the Prime Minister returned to the political equation with which, like his predecessor, he is confronted in the National Assembly.
Namely the absence of an absolute majority.
To get out of this puzzle, Gabriel Attal does not intend to make any distinction as to the political color of the deputies with whom he exchanges.
And
“assumed to work with everyone”
.
“I have always considered, in my functions, that the parliamentarians with whom we must work are the Hemicycle,”
clarified the head of government.

Breaking thus with the line of Élisabeth Borne, who saw, last spring, in the National Rally a political movement
"heir to Pétain",
Gabriel Attal starts from the following postulate: if there is
"a problem of respect for the Republic , a party can be banned.”
Especially since
“behind these parliamentarians, even if we do not agree with these parties, there are millions of French people who voted.”
“
It is not respecting them to say ‘because you are from La France Insoumise or the RN, we are not going to listen to or look at the amendment that you are proposing’,”
insisted Gabriel Attal.
“Make them face their responsibilities”
Otherwise, it would be
"too easy for opposition parliamentarians to say 'we don't have an opinion on this issue because they don't want to listen to what we have to say.'"
Listen Oppositions mean, for Gabriel Attal, “
putting them face to face with their responsibilities.”
Also a way for the young Prime Minister to enter the electoral arena against Jordan Bardella, head of the RN list for the Europeans.
“
It’s too easy to go to the media to explain things when we have done the opposite,”
he mocked, expressly targeting the president of the party with the flame.
Four months before the election, Gabriel Attal is therefore “
worried to see anti-European countries making progress in all European countries.”
Particularly in France, where the RN list exceeds that of the macronie by around ten points in the polls.
