In a speech to mobilize his troops on Tuesday, the Head of State has multiplied the attacks against the leader of the new Union of the left, which has become the number one opponent.

No need to try to get an admission from him. To find out the political opponent he fears the most, it is enough to look at the target privileged by Emmanuel Macron. Almost every season, the blows rain on a new opponent to shoot down.
Before the first round of the presidential election, it was Valérie Pécresse, when it came to weakening the right. Then Marine Le Pen, particularly in the interwar level, in order to prevent the extreme right from seizing power. Since his re-election, on April 24, the head of state and his supporters concentrated their criticisms against Jean-Luc Mélenchon, since the leader of rebellious France (LFI) managed to take the lead of a union of the left with a view to the legislative elections of June 12 and 19.
In a speech to mobilize his troops for this battle, Mr. Macron himself set the tone, Tuesday, May 10, by multiplying the attacks against the one who aims to be Prime Minister. “A third round? This does not exist. You should not be intimidated by those who would like to replay the legislative elections what has been decided in the presidential election,” he launched to the candidates of the majority, gathered to the docks d’Aubervilliers, in Seine-Saint-Denis. A reference to Mr. Mélenchon’s calls to have a majority of deputies from his camp elected to the National Assembly, in order to allow him to impose cohabitation on the Head of State. Mr. Macron continued his indictment, denouncing an “extreme left”, which would be “united on one thing, decay”, “not even agree on nuclear”. And “who chose communitarianism rather than universalism”.
An offensive tone that reflects the analysis of majority officials: in their eyes, Mr. Mélenchon imposed himself, in fact, as the main opponent of the President of the Republic. First of all because the unprecedented alliance between “rebellious”, socialists, environmentalists and communists – baptized new Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nuts) – is judged as the force most likely to complicate the task for candidates of the majority. “The duel La République en Marche [LRM] -nups will dominate the legislative elections, confirms Brice Teinturier, Deputy Managing Director of Ipsos. In the vast majority of the constituencies, these two forces will compete, because the Republicans are Very weakened and the national rally will suffer once again with its isolation. “
” The end of Europe “
The presidential camp therefore began to prowl his angles of attack on the third man of the presidential election and his representatives. With a watchword: present this alliance as an ideological power of the radical left on the whole left. Tuesday evening, Mr. Macron spoke of a “extreme left which won the Gramscien fight against the political forces which wanted to ally with it”. With an objective for the president: to capture the social democratic electorate or moderate ecologist, uncomfortable with this union under the aegis of Mr. Mélenchon; Or, at least, dissuade him from voting in favor of a candidate of the NUPS.
