The day after the hectic visit of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, for the inauguration of the Agricultural Show, the president of the National Rally (RN), Jordan Bardella, began a two-day visit there, Sunday February 25 . The opportunity, for the head of the extreme party list in the European elections, to respond vehemently to the attacks of the Head of State, who spoke on Saturday of “people” demonstrating at the Salon “with a political project which is to serve the National Rally” and “to make a guard of honor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow for the leaders” of the RN. Clashes between farmers and CRS notably delayed the official inauguration of the Salon by Mr. Macron by several hours.
“I think that he clearly no longer has the sensors of the country of which he is president,” Mr. Bardella attacked on Sunday, in the aisles of the Salon. And he probably does not realize the suffering his policy causes. »
Then questioned at midday on BFM-TV, Mr. Bardella then declared that “wherever Emmanuel Macron moves, he arouses tension, rejection and disorder.” “We have the feeling that it is a single man who governs against the French. The President of the Republic is in a worrying and dangerous schizophrenic drift with regard to his function,” he continued, estimating that Mr. Macron “probably falls into a form of conspiracy, of paranoia, which is characteristic of everything extreme “.
Bardella says he ‘does not want to leave’ EU
The head of the RN list in the European elections also affirmed that he “does not wish to leave the European Union, nor the common market”, after Mr. Macron estimated on Saturday that the RN is “the party of Frexit, of leaving the euro” with a project of “degrowth and stupidity”. “The President of the Republic, who is clearly a pathological liar, fuels this doubt,” Mr. Bardella responded on Sunday.
Regarding the crisis, the president of the RN estimated on Sunday that “we need a change of software” for French agriculture. “Obviously there’s the question of income and work. But our farmers must be competitive. However, by being put in competition with products or sectors which do not respect any of the standards imposed on them, “it is very complicated”, he estimated.
“I campaign for economic patriotism and to get out of free trade agreements. » Because if, in theory, “trade agreements can be beneficial to French agriculture”, “each time (…) it is to our disadvantage”, added the MEP.
