Olivier Veran, spokesperson for the government, called Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of LFI on Sunday to respect the vote of French people and allow Parliament to legislate on the eve the discussion on a motion de no confidence on left. before the National Assembly.
"He must accept that the second five year term is just beginning, and that the electoral page has ended," Veran told the RTL-LCI–Le Figaro Grand Jury. He stressed that "the general interest, the nobility, and the merit of public policy is for it to concentrate its attention, energy, and efforts towards improving daily life for the French".
"I wonder if JeanLuc Melenchon is trying to pretend he doesn’t understand, or if he really doesn't. "He lost the presidential election, then his political party lost the legislative elections," launches Olivier Veran (@olivierveran).
The government spokesperson stated that Melenchon has "with La France insoumise some80 deputies, that is 200 less than what's needed to constitute an majority and he continues to claim he won". Melenchon is "an opposition party. We respect him for that." "We ask him in exchange to respect the vote and allow Parliament to do the job he was elected to do."
On Tuesday, the former candidate for Elysee, who didn't claim to be a deputy in the election, said that the crisis arising from the legislative elections, which could be continued through a "blockage” in Parliament, would be "resolved by legislative" elections. The left-wing Nupes alliance, which was presented last Wednesday just before Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne made her general policy statement, a motion for censure that will be put to vote on Monday. However, it is unlikely that it will be adopted due to the opposition of the LR and RN groups.
Veran stated that the Nupes might finally see that they don't have a majority at the National Assembly. They will be able to bring together only a quarter of all the deputies. He joked that "we're more there to make a position motion." They want to turn their backs on us because we reach out. I assure them that we will not stop reaching out to them.
Despite the fact that Macronists make up a relatively large portion of the total, "we have 400 deputies at the National Assembly, from Communists and Republicans, with which we can build project majorities in a logic to compromise" and "it's the choice that did France during the legislative election," said Veran, who is also an ex-socialist. He said that the motion for censure was "the negation of the French's desire to have us work with this logic to compromise".
