Marine Le Pen asked Emmanuel Macron on Friday to receive “without further delay” the formations represented in the National Assembly “to discuss the serious situation in the country” after the urban violence of the last nights.
It is also a question of addressing “the initiatives that the Republic must take to safeguard freedom and public security”, she added in a speech broadcast on social networks.
“There is no immediate solution other than the return to republican order through sectoral curfews and, if the situation were to persist or worsen, by the declaration of a state of emergency. “added the ex-candidate of the National Rally for the presidential election, taking up a request already made in the morning by the deputy Sébastien Chenu.
Faced with this “period of uncertainty and concern”, she stressed that her “line of conduct” as “responsible for the first opposition force” would be to “do nothing that could prevent or hinder the action of the legitimate authorities responsible for public order”.
On the other hand, she harshly criticized, without expressly naming them, “the politicized politicians or unions” which “took responsibility for morally exonerating these criminal acts” and thus “came out of the republican field”.
“They will bear an indelible responsibility for this before the nation and history,” added Ms. Le Pen, before calling for “beware of these anti-republican and extremist forces” which “are leading the country down terrible paths of disorder”.
“Faced with hordes seized with a destructive rage, there is no other immediate solution than the return to republican order”, she hammered, giving her support “to all the security forces deployed to put an end to these riots”.
Ms. Le Pen also tackled “the intoxication of solitary power and crazy ideological construction, particularly in terms of immigration and judicial laxity”.
