In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through Paris, the head of the centre-right Les Républicans party has backed an alliance with Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally in the snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron.
“I hope that my political family which has been on the sidelines since 2012 and which has seen the decline of the country advance can have a large group in the Assembly,” the LR president added.
Yet, the proclamation from Ciotti has sparked divisions within his own centre-right party, with even the leader of the Républicains in the National Assembly, Olivier Marleix, demanding that Ciotti step down as president of the party. The head of the LR group in the Senate, Bruno Retailleu also claimed that he was not consulted about the announcement, saying: “A political party is not just one person”.
Apparently panicked about the prospect of an RN-LR pact, Macron’s minister of the interior Gérald Darmanin likened the move to the signing of the 1938 Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany, saying that Ciott has brought “disgrace to the Gaullist family by kissing Marine Le Pen… A shame. French people, let’s wake up!”
Despite being left out of initial talks, Zemmour expressed willingness to bring over his 1.4 million supporters in the EU elections to the cause of the National Rally,that in light of the “popular front” alliance announced by the far-left on Monday, there was a need for a “great rally for victory”.
