By voting the text of the left, the extreme right has divided the clip and made the right the circumstance ally of Macron.
Did the left received the devil’s kiss? In the aftermath of the vote on the motion of censorship sanctioning the finance bill, Monday, October 24, the embarrassment invaded the new ecological and social popular union (Nuts). The text aimed at overthrowing the government of Elisabeth Borne has missed the absolute majority of 50 votes. But this acrobatics was done with the voices of the National Rally (RN). What to destabilize the left alliance.
Within the Nuts, only the elected officials of Insoumise France (LFI) have rejoiced at this political blow. “The right saves the government closely. He lacked 50 votes to eject the government. We are ready for the next generation,” said Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the wake of the vote. “There is a sword of Damocles above the head of the government,” insisted the president of the LFI group the next day in the Assembly, Mathilde Panot, pointing “a power that only holds a thread”. A bad joy for the most moderate of the alliance. Socialist, environmental and communist deputies had only one idea in mind: to distance the bulky vote of the RN, and cut short the idea that the end justifies the means to beat Emmanuel Macron.
All returned the ball to the Marine Le Pen camp, the only responsible for their vote on the Motion of Censorship of the Left. “I am not a master of RN votes. We have never had the slightest connivance with them,” protested the deputy (Socialist Party, PS) Jérôme Guedj. “We will never build a majority with the national rally and we will never vote for a censorship of the extreme right,” said Boris Vallaud, head of the PS group in the Assembly. “Nothing brings us together, nothing has ever gathered us with them. In the DNA of the left, we do not mix with the RN,” said the communist deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône Pierre Dharréville.
History could have been quite different. About ten days ago, when the government brandished the threat of 49.3, some deputies of the Nuts debate the strategy to adopt. In private, Jérôme Guedj pleads for “a paragraph that hits the RN, even on LR [Les Républicains]”. Display question. The elected official of Essonne does not want to show that “we flirt with the voices of the RN”. But LFI does not hear this ear. No one must exclude anyone, a fortiori if there is a possibility of bringing the government to fall.
