Marine Le Pen, President of the National Rally - CEDRIC BUFKENS / SIPA

Marine Le Pen accused the government on Monday of lying about "absolutely everything" about the coronavirus epidemic, deeming "common sense" to wonder if the virus has not "escaped from a laboratory".

We are being told about "absolutely everything, without any exception," said the president of the National Rally (RN) on France Info , criticizing a "government strategy" consisting of "hiding the level of weakness of the State, of our stocks , of our country's unpreparedness, rather than telling the truth ”.

The lie against national unity

The government has continued to lie that it is “about the borders, the unnecessary masks, the tests themselves unnecessary. All of this has created a situation of mistrust on the part of the population towards its leaders, ”added Marine Le Pen. “National unity cannot be built around lies. We cannot ask the opposition to support the government's lies and inconsistencies, ”she insisted.

In a press release, Marine Le Pen also indicated that he "asked yesterday (Sunday, note) the Prime Minister" Edouard Philippe for "that he organize a new videoconference with political leaders and especially those of the opposition to give us a update on the health crisis ”.

"Doubt is not a crime"

The confinement "must not be that of democracy and despite the crisis, the opposition must be able to continue to play its role," she added. Matignon said that the Prime Minister had "anyway still planned to meet with political leaders on a regular basis" and that a new meeting would be set soon, "maybe this week".

Asked by France Info about an Ifop study published on Saturday according to which 40% of supporters of the National Rally think that the coronavirus was manufactured in the laboratory, Marine Le Pen considered "common sense" to wonder if the virus does has not "escaped from a laboratory", while specifying not having "an opinion" on this subject.

Believing that the origin of the Covid-19 "does not change anything in the situation we are in", she insisted that "doubt is not an offense" and that it allows "to think and find the truth ".
