The French president has been using his powers to make last-minute appointments, according to the former leader of the National Rally party.
French President Emmanuel Macron is undertaking a last-minute reshuffling in government agencies in order to prevent National Rally leader Jordan Bardella from governing as he wishes, former party leader Marine Le Pen believes. The RN is widely expected to gain a plurality in this Sunday’s runoff.
RN and its allies secured the lead in the first round of the snap parliamentary election last week, while projections in the French media anticipate the party ultimately winning between 230 and 280 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly.
“It’s a kind of administrative coup d’état,” Le Pen told France Inter radio on Tuesday, commenting on press reports that claimed Macron was rushing to appoint senior civil servants, including to top EU jobs.
Over the past days, Macron reportedly appointed several top officials, including the military governor of Paris, the new chief of the General Staff of the French Air Force, the new director of the EU at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and three ambassadors. He also proposed in Brussels last week reappointing Thierry Breton as France’s European commissioner.
According to Le Pen, “the aim” of such appointments is “to prevent Jordan Bardella from governing the country as he wishes,” should the RN win a majority in Sunday’s runoff. Le Pen said that if her party came to power, it would reverse these appointments so it “could govern.”
“When you want to counter the electorate’s vote, the results of elections, by appointing people of your own, so that they prevent you within the state from being able to carry out the policy that the French want … I call that an administrative coup d’état,” Le Pen concluded.
Macron called early parliamentary elections after the RN’s strong performance in last month’s European Parliament elections. The party formerly led by Le Pen and now by Bardella won 30 of the 81 French seats in the EU legislature.
The first round of early parliamentary elections was held on June 30. The RN and its allies came in first with 33.15% of the vote. The left-wing alliance New Popular Front took second place with 27.99%, while Macron’s Ensemble coalition garnered just 20.04%.
Same thing Obama did at the end of 2016.
Lying, cheating, stacking the deck and putting your thumb on the scale. The 4 pillars of globalism
Except Trump was a dumb f**k and didnt sack them like he could have.
I SERIOUSLY hope he’s learned his lesson this time around.
Is anyone surprised.?The globalists will do anything , anything, to keep power. Juts looks at the attacks, mainly in the form of law fare om political figures, journalists (not MSM shills) and whistle blowers, who oppose globalism, here in new Zealand.
The whole system is rotten and needs to be reformed or replaced. We can’t go on, like this. The majority suffer, whilst a minuscule few, live like Gods.
Kind of like what Jacinda and Chippy did. I say sack’em all.
“…French President Emmanuel Macron is undertaking a last-minute reshuffling in government agencies in order to prevent National Rally leader Jordan Bardella from governing as he wishes,…”
BS.
None/nowhere are government agencies elected. Any ‘government’ will, HAS TO, implement the international bankster syndicate to survive.
Unless there is revolution.
Which might be the case for many places on earth.
And well, France has already got a history in that.
All the best from ‘DownUnder’.
We The People shall be ‘OnTop’ soon too.
Worst of all, devious macron is puting people against each others with the help of the main stream media. Hatred is taking dangerous proportions and does not hide. There is among muslim population an anti french and hatred sentiment of such a magnitude that it is really scary.
If there are riots, Macron can invoke art 16 of the french contitution and rule without parliament etc.
But financial experts are much more worried about indebted France and what international bankster will do if le pen gets majority. Without money you cannot implement anything. But you could quit the EU and default. Beter poor and free
As an add on. Most of rural france is voting Le Pen. Big cities are leftwing. That is were there is a concentration of immigrants/ muslims
What i just realized is that Macron ‘s government where most key functions are held by jewish people is ganging up with left wing parties of which LFI ( melanchon’ s party) which members are a majority of muslims. Both communities can t stand each other, but agree to form an alliance against Marine Le Pen.
None are concerned about the well being of the french population.
I suppose LFI voters are too stupid to realize what is going on and how they are manipulated against their own interests
