Macronist headache, the extension of the “Republican arc” to the National Rally is about to be enacted by the Horizons vice-president of the National Assembly, Naïma Moutchou.
This close friend of Édouard Philippe tabled a transpartisan bill a few weeks ago aimed at protecting the environment and the health of populations against air pollution.
Opening the co-signatures to the entire hemicycle, the elected representative from Val-d'Oise notably received the signatures of Hélène Laporte, RN vice-president of the Palais Bourbon, and the Marinist deputy Kévin Pfeffer, as learned from
Le Figaro
.
A red line for the representatives of the left, who have since withdrawn their signature, but also for part of the Macronist troops who threaten to withdraw from the text.
“The French define the republican arc, not me.
And I place the general interest above all else
,” explained Naïma Moutchou
.

"
I don't understand.
I wonder about this ability to participate, voluntarily or involuntarily, in the trivialization of the National Rally,”
Prisca Thevenot dissociated herself this Thursday morning on the set of Public Senate.
“
There is no wisdom or complacency to be had towards the political ideas of the National Rally
,” she said, severely.
By condemning Naïma Moutchou's initiative, the minister responsible for Democratic Renewal is following the line decreed on February 19 by Emmanuel Macron in an interview with the newspaper
L'Humanité
: “
I have never considered that the RN or Reconquête!
were part of the “republican arc”
.
The President of the Republic had thus opposed the vision defended a few weeks earlier by his Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, for whom “
the republican arc is the Hemicycle.

“
Everything opposes us to the RN
”, insisted Prisca Thevenot before warning about the “cuckoo strategy” of the flame party.
“
That still leaves an opportunity to let the RN practice the cuckoo policy, that is to say “I do nothing, I say nothing but I come to insert myself to try to get back on the pill””
, she was indignant.
