The National Assembly took on the air of station hall this Tuesday, April 1. We saw the deputies of the national rally wander, distraught. Sanded by the judgment of the criminal court, which could prevent Marine Le Pen from presenting herself to the next presidential election. Lunches with journalists have been canceled. Events at the party’s headquarters, postponed. You have to look good. The traditional RN group meeting, which Jordan Bardella attended, was opened to the press. The opportunity, for Marine Le Pen, to shout her defense strategy loudly, and, above all, her repeated attacks against the “system” and “political justice” before his deputies communicating in the same support.
“The system has taken out the nuclear bomb, and if it uses such a powerful weapon against us it is obviously because we are on the verge of winning the election, asserted the deputy for Pas-de-Calais. Pacific and democratic we will defend our rights, the rights of our voters, and the first of these rights is the right to vote freely […] Because if we do not vote freely we are no longer really in a democracy. If it is the political leaders or magistrates who decide who can arise and for whom the French can vote, then we are no longer in a democracy. “The deputies applaud as one man.
“I don’t have more info … we’ll see”
And return to fill the corridors of the Assembly, trying to zigzag between interrogative journalists. Here they have become disciples of Socrates: all they know is that they know nothing. “We study all the possible appeals at our disposal, repeats the deputy for Gard Yohann Gillet. Afterwards, we will see, we will see …”. “We continue the permanent campaign while supporting Marine, hazardous Jordan Guitton, elected in Aude. I have no more info, apart from telling you that political and parliamentary life continues, for the rest, I do not know …” While waiting to know more, we prefer to walk on eggs. More timid than Bruno Gollnisch, which is seen strolling at the Bourbon Palace, the regulations of the European Parliament under the arm by attacking the European Union “which has shamefully acted on justice”.
Obviously ignoring all the appeals to come, and unwilling to project themselves in the coming months, the frontists are satisfied with short-term comments. And predict their response: a towing this weekend on the market of their constituency. As a hemicycle Marine Le Pen is greeted by a standing ovation of his troops, before his lieutenants defense by calling on the Prime Minister. Jean-Philippe Tanguy, Laure Lavalette and Sébastien Chenu speak to defend the honor of their leader, targeting “the oligarchy, who refuses that the people of France vote for their candidate”. Taking advantage of their colleagues deputies in a perilous exercise of twist of the judgment of the criminal court: “Do not see what happens? It is politics, not justice. What will be the legitimacy of the president when a appeal decision relaxes Marine Le Pen? And what will the legitimacy of democracy be?”
“I think Marine Le Pen will make a refusal of obstacle”
Eric Ciotti, he takes out a new asset from his round, announcing that he will deposit, in June, on the occasion of the niche of his party, a “bill to remove the provisional execution for the penalties of ineligibility” which, if it were voted, would be retroactive. François Bayrou evokes, for his part, a reflection on provisional execution. Marine Le Pen did not speak, leaving the room before the end of questions to the government.
And after? Jordan Bardella called on his troops to “indignant” peacefully. A rally is organized by the party, Sunday afternoon, Place Vauban in Paris, as part of the support movement for Marine Le Pen that the frontists hope to trigger. Without too much hope for some, who judge that the party should opt for a more offensive strategy. “They are all stunned, assures an ally. Their problem is that they will not let their anger burst, it will not mobilize their electorate. I think Marine Le Pen will make a refusal of obstacle. She suffered so much from her father’s outrage that she will accept to be devoured by a system that she fights.”
