Marine Le Pen will not return to the presidential elections “barring exceptional events”: she herself confirmed this in an interview with Le Figaro, which will be published tomorrow in the newspaper. “A priori – explains the Rassemblement National candidate – I think that three presidential elections already represent a path. Which allowed me to grow our ideas from 18% to 42%. In 10 years it’s not bad.
I know that this dynamic is not over for our ideas. The question is, who will carry them out in five years. It’s too early to talk about it. But I’d like to see a new elite emerge. ”
Marine Le Pen underlines that, despite the defeat and the “lies” of her opponent Emmanuel Macron, the French have chosen her “as the first opponent” of the winner. For the laws that will renew the French Parliament in June, Le Pen has set specific objectives: “I would like – she explains to Le Figaro – that democracy could give us the capabilities, the powers, which are those of the opposition. It is only a question of having a group. But of having all the means made available to the opposition in a living democracy. Like, for example, the power to invest the Constitutional Council. Which would mean having at least 60 deputies. We could have wonderful surprises ” . According to Marine Le Pen, the president “cannot explain to us that everything changes and continue to find it normal for the first opposition force to find itself, as in the last 5 years, with only 6 deputies. We need to find a normal, demanding and mature”.
As for the leadership in the National Rassemblement, Marine Le Pen affirms that “we will talk about it after the legislative”: “Our movement has had a strong evolution – she says – like society and the country. It is time for great transitions: demographic, economic, ecological and technological. The movements must adapt to these new themes, challenges, even dangers. The role of our movement in the coming years is, on the one hand, to conceive the national project of the 21st century, on the other hand to bring out a new elite . Jordan Bardella (who has led the party since Le Pen began the electoral campaign, ed) seems to me very well positioned to do so. And on the other hand, this seems to me to be one of Emmanuel Macron’s great failures. no one new emerges. To be convinced of this it was enough to follow the images of his investiture: he is the old elite “.
