French President Emmanuel Macron excoriated the Les Républicains leader Éric Ciotti for supporting an election pact with the populist National Rally party in the snap election he called after getting trounced in the EU elections., for turning his back on the “legacy of General de Gaulle” in doing a “deal with the devil”, in reference to the Marine Le Pen’s National Rally , with whom the Les Républicains leader backed an alliance with on Tuesday against Macron.
However, Ciotti has claimed that those seeking to oust him broke party rules and therefore said that he will not resign. He: “The meeting organised this afternoon was implemented in flagrant violation of our statutes … None of the decisions taken at this meeting have any legal consequences… I am and remain the president of our political party, elected by the members!”Should the new centrist-populist alliance hold, it could have significant ramifications for the French political landscape.
“I do not want to give the keys to power to the far right in 2027,” he said. “I fully take responsibility for starting this process of clarification.” Macron attempted to draw lines between himself and RN on foreign policy, claiming that the Le Pen party wanted to “leave NATO” and was “ambiguous” on Russia.
