Legislative 2022 live: “Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne will have to negotiate with the opposition for all the votes” – Le Monde

Louis Aliot proposes that the reduction in VAT be integrated into the purchasing power package and assures that the RN will be a force for proposals in the National Assembly Will the National Rally (RN) vote against everything that Emmanuel Macron will propose? , including the purchasing power package presented this summer by the government, threatened by opposition? Louis Aliot stressed that “no”, the RN will not vote against everything, and argued that it would be force of proposals in the National Assembly: You have to be both firm on your convictions, but you must also be open and discuss about measures. The purchasing power package, it may be necessary to integrate measures that we want, for example, the reduction of VAT. If, tomorrow, the future government or the government accepts amendments which make it possible to go in this direction, I am convinced that my fellow deputies under the presidency of Marine will perhaps make the effort to vote for these things. But we will not do anything that goes against what we have developed during this election and defended. As for the desire of La France insoumise (LFI) to possibly table a motion of censure against the Prime Minister on July 5, the day of the general policy statement by the head of government, the mayor of Perpignan argued on the position of the group of RN deputies: “Listen, it’s not me who’s in charge. (…) If it’s to bring down the government without any other form of trial, we’ll see. I hope that behind these procedural tricks, there are also ideas to defend. And we know very well that Mr. Mélenchon, today, is more in the sterile, rigid and frontal dispute, than in the proposal. “Will the RN take a “constructive” position in the next legislature? Louis Aliot replied: “Yes, in a way, yes. Particularly in terms of the defense of purchasing power or public services, even on retirement, where concrete measures have been advanced during this presidential and legislative elections. Now is the time to debate it in Parliament. “As for the finance committee, Louis Aliot estimated that it would be up to the RN, as the main opposition group (in front of LFI), to take the lead: “Listen, if it comes back to the main opposition group in the Assembly, it should come back to us. But now, I am not fooled by the game that will reign in the corridors of the National Assembly and therefore we cannot say anything, but it would be democratically fair. The vice-president of the RN has also asserted his desire to see Marine Le Pen return to the head of the party, whose interim presidency has been exercised by Jordan Bardella since the presidential election. “I don’t think anyone would understand that she was leaving the party when we made this score and when she was president of the main opposition group in the Assembly. So, obviously, I want her to remain at the head of the National Rally, ”he said, assuring that in this configuration he would not be a candidate.
