Marine Le Pen lashed out at Emmanuel Macron’s administration after France’s National Assembly approved the suspension of his controversial pension reform. Calling it a “socially unjust, economically useless” measure, Le Pen accused Macron’s government of hidden deals and backroom manoeuvres to save political face after losing parliamentary control.
00:05Dear colleagues, the moment of truth has arrived, the moment when the non-censorship pact between the government, the Socialist Party and LR will or will not materialize before our eyes.
00:16We are going to unravel a first mystery.
00:20How could a government have put its fate in the hands of the Socialists, who in the last presidential election only represented 1.5% of the vote?
00:30Silver coins in the form of the suspension of the horrible boundary reform, so important to the Macronian game.
00:37They had scandalously used Article 493 in the face of the majority refusal of the Assembly to vote for it.
00:46We are going to unravel a second mystery, the one that led LR, who explained to us that the boundary reform was a vital issue,
00:54did not hesitate to call all those who opposed the extension of the retirement-age crypto-communists,
00:58and they accepted the suspension in exchange for the assurance that they would not go back to the voters.
01:08So I would like to tell you one thing solemnly, dear Socialist and Republican colleagues.
01:14Out of opportunism, you have delivered a chemically pure concentrate of maneuvers, agreements and arrangements that the French people today can no longer stand.
01:22Renaissance is against the suspension, they will vote for it.
01:28LFI is for it, they will vote against it.
01:30The Communists are for it, they will vote against it, or perhaps abstain.
01:34L is against it, they will vote for it.
01:36This is what debases politics, this is what the National Rally is taking refuge in.
01:44So, dear colleagues, we will perhaps be the only ones who are consistent.
01:51We will vote to suspend the socially unjust and economically inefficient borderline reform pending its repeal.
01:57And unlike you, we will express this vote proudly, with our heads held high because this vote for you will be the mark of our denial.
02:09For us, it will be the mark of constancy and loyalty.
02:14This is the honor of political commitment.
02:15This is what we are defending with this vote today because our only sovereign, our only compass, our only ally is the French people.
