Accused of being “King Macron’s buffoons” by the RN, LFI sees Le Pen as “a worthy ally of Macronie”

The tone levels up between rebellious France and the National Rally. During the stormy beginning of the review of the purchasing power bill on Monday night in the hemicycle, the two political forces raged.

“Colleagues from rebellious France, I am ashamed of you. (…) You are not here to promote purchasing power or workers’ rights. You are King Macron’s red buffoons,” said Jean-Philippe Tanguy, a deputy from RN by the Somme.

This close friend of Marine Le Pen has barely proven that the first amendment tabled by rebellious France on this text refers to “Macron’s bonus, renamed the ‘smoking bonus'”. These deputies would prefer an increase in the minimum wage.

“You come out of your low-level maximism to pass your antics”, still accused the one who lost the presidency of the Finance Commission before the rebel Éric Coquerel.

Le Pen, “worthy ally of Macronie”

This mechanism should allow, if adopted, triple the Macron bonus going from a maximum of 1,000 euros per employee, or 2,000 euros in the event of a profit-sharing agreement, to 3,000 and 6,000 euros, respectively.

Among the alleged grievances against the Macron bonus, the rebels stress that it does not open the door to “any social right” – unemployment or old-age coverage – and they would prefer an increase in the minimum wage. These accusations earned him a strong response from Adrien Quatennens.

“Your president spent the presidential campaign explaining that he was opposed to wage increases. (…) The distribution of value is not bonuses but salary increases to live with dignity from work, which you, precisely as a worthy ally of macronie, reject “.

Battle to lead the opposition

The two sides have not stopped crossing swords since the beginning of the new mandate. In question, the race to lead the opposition. A poll has also drawn cold sweats from the ranks of rebellious France.

According to this Elabe survey for BFMTV, The express and SFR, the French now consider that Marine Le Pen’s National Rally better embodies the opposition to Emmanuel Macron (43%) ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s Nupes (31%).
