Surreal atmosphere in the Parisian buildings after the big bang of French politics. And while Marine Le Pen declares herself "ready to govern" , as she announced this morning to the microphones of France Inter while specifying that she will not be among the ministers, continuing instead to lead the group of RN deputies in Parliament , inside the Parisian buildings the feverish activity of those who - in the trenches with the calculator - try to avoid collapse in a week's time . But the ousted king, Emmanuel Macron, according to those close to him, is already looking forward to the future, to cohabitation with Jordan Bardella. Trying to save what can be saved, frantically, as he did by appointing the European Commissioner Thierry Breton without hesitation, aware that in a few days he would be prevented from doing so.
"The government is ready - Le Pen said this morning - and will be complete, competent, made up of people who participated with us" in the elections. "We cannot agree to go into government if we cannot act", reiterated the leader, returning to the possibility that seemed discarded in the last few hours of accepting only one position in the case of an absolute majority of the RN. Le Pen does not want her party to govern "if the current policy cannot be changed" and if it is a question of "going into government solely to be seated in a minister's chair". But "we want to go there, we want to govern".
As for the last-minute appointments of the Macronists, the leader of the Rassemblement National then spoke of an "administrative coup d'état" . "It seems that the president is thinking of appointing tomorrow, that is, 4 days before the second round, the director general of the national police, who should have remained in office until the end of the Olympics, and the director of the national gendarmerie," Le Pen told the microphones of France Inter. According to the leader of the RN, the "objective" of the hasty appointments would be "to prevent Jordan Bardella from governing the country as he would like" if the RN wins the majority in the legislative run-off on Sunday.
