Marine Le Pen mocked Wednesday night Laurent Wauquiez, which reminded him of his debate deemed missed the presidential election, wishing him access "a day", like her, in the second round of the poll.

"Mr. Wauquiez, when it comes to increasing the purchasing power, for you, there is never the means," said the president of the National Assembly to the President of the Republicans, during a debate on France 2 in view of the European elections Sunday.

The exchanges concerned a 0% VAT on essential goods, a measure on which the six participants voted "for", except the president of the Republicans.

While Laurent Wauquiez evoked "promises that do not make sense", Marine Le Pen asked him to "let it speak". "I know you're a little stressed, but let me talk," she added.

The head of LR then pointed out that she was, according to him, "aggressive", wondering if the unhappy finalist of the presidential election in 2017 was "not again in this temperament of the second round of the presidential election" , in an allusion to the debate deemed unsuccessful Marine Le Pen face Emmanuel Macron.

"You know what, Mr. Wauquiez? I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to debate in the second round of the presidential election," she retorted.

The head of the list of ecologists of EELV Yannick Jadot then exclaimed that "frankly, they are very well together", when the head of list Insoumise, Manon Aubry, tried to interfere in the exchange: "Cuckoo we are here !".
