“The voting instructions, today, could have a counterproductive effect (…). We led the fight against the national gathering. But I did not see that Emmanuel Macron did the same thing Because it dreamed of a remake of 2017, “he hammered.
LFI wants” impose cohabitation “
Also, Adrien Quatnens hopes that France unsuitably would be able to “impose cohabitation” in Emmanuel Macron during the legislative legislative in June. “When we see the configuration yesterday, it will be the legislative elections to do what is necessary because Emmanuel Macron may not have a majority in the Assembly,” he said on France Inter, Monday morning , in allusion to the result of his candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round.
