In National Assembly, LFI trapped in populist strategy

Marine Le Pen can be satisfied: by voting, Monday, October 24, the motion of censorship filed by the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nuts, combining the training of the parliamentary left), the extreme right deputy (not -de-calais) made three shots with one stone: it designates the Republicans as objective allies of the presidential majority; It shows the government that it can be a pivot of the opposition and finally, it deeply divides the left.

Because the latter does not seem clear about the attitude to adopt against the National Rally (RN). If this situation was not born after the election of 89 lepenist deputies in June, it in any case crystallized on Monday. Because several leaders of rebellious France (LFI), engine of the Nuts, have marked a break with a certain tradition of the left vis-à-vis the extreme right.

Thus, after the vote of their censorship motion, leading “rebellious” regretted having lacked fifty votes to pass their text. The president of the LFI group at the : “50 votes. This is what it will have failed to censor macronie. Let them hold it for saying, their government is only holding a thread. To their world of misfortune. “Alexis Corbière (LFI, Seine-Saint-Denis) has abounded:” An alternative majority exists, it is the people! We are ready to govern. To recall the people in the polls, that is to him To decide. “As for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he tweeted:” The right saves the government barely. He lacked 50 votes to eject the government. We are ready for the next generation. “

Deep disagreement

It would be incongruous to imagine the parliamentarians of the cloud do not vote their text on the pretext that RN deputies do. However, if Monday’s vote draws, as LFI says, a popular “alternative majority”, the latter includes, in fact, the national rally.

An incomprehensible postulate on the part of activists who have fought the extreme right since the start of their commitment, whose values ​​and proposals have been diametrically opposed to those of Marine Le Pen. And who are in deep disagreement on points as essential as republican values, institutions, relationship to Islam, societal issues, economic policy or environmental defense.

Another incomprehensible point: the same morning, several figures of the left reproached Emmanuel Macron for having met Giorgia Meloni, new far -right Italian Prime Minister, calling it” fascist “. And, a few hours later, the same pretends to ignore the voices of the RN in favor of their text. For example, in his intervention in the gallery of the Assembly, M Panot did not have a word to dissociate itself from the choice of M me le pen.
