To justify, the convocation of all the other parties this Tuesdaythe entourage ofEmmanuel Macron explains that “ the criterion is the logic of compromise and RN and LFI did not want that.” Understand: marginalize the two groups and classify them in the camp of supporters of disorder.
Marine Le Pen announced last week, in Le Figarothat she would not be “outré” don’t invite him. Even if those around him speak today of a desire “ of humiliation.”
If this afternoon’s meeting results in, at least, an agreement on non-censorship of the future government with the approval of the 66 socialist deputiesthe National Rally would be deprived of its right of life or death over the future Prime Minister.
Take advantage of the concrete consequences of censorship
The president hopes in particular to take advantage of the already palpable repercussions of censorship. Several “censorious” deputies face the anger of several voters. Farmers, for example, attacked the offices of RN and NFP elected officials.
There is also this partial legislative in the Ardennes, lost by an RN candidate, who was nevertheless 14 points ahead of his centrist competitor at the end of the first round which was held… before censorship.
On the left, the New Popular Front is weakened. LFI, invited to the Élysée, refused to come and blames its partners for going. Quite severely even since Jean-Luc Mélenchon accuses them of treason. Censorship could therefore get the better of the alliance of the left.

RN and LFI not so unhappy to remain fierce opponents
Faced with a possible future government assured of not being overthrown, RN and LFI will however seek to take advantage of it. In particular that of occupying the comfortable chair of a noisy and determined opponent with his sights set on the next elections, including the 2027 presidential election.
It’s already started. On the RN side, Marine Le Pen’s entourage assures that the president is doing them a favor by not inviting them. France Insoumise announces that it wants to file a motion of censure against the next government. Not so much to overthrow him, but to identify who his supporters and opponents are.
