Aurore Bergé cannot imagine a second round without Emmanuel Macron for 2022 -

Alain ROBERT / SIPA

Aurore Bergé, deputy president of the LREM group in the Assembly, refused this Monday to imagine having to choose between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the second round of the presidential election of 2022 and sent them back to back, judging that they are both "outside the republican field".

Asked about Sud Radio on this scenario, the deputy assured that the presidential majority "will do everything to avoid this option" which presents itself and that "the French do not have to choose between two impossible options, either the extreme right or the extreme left ”.

Explosion of the Republican front at the bazooka

The boss of LREM deputies Christophe Castaner had for his part indicated at the beginning of March that he would "support" Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the event of a second round opposing the leader of France Insoumise to the president of the National Rally, because Unlike Marine Le Pen, he is according to him "not an enemy of the Republic because he is a republican".

The general delegate of LREM Stanislas Guerini said subsequently to be "perfectly in line" with Christophe Castaner, even if he considers that Jean-Luc Mélenchon "blew up the republican front in the bazooka" in 2017 by not calling for vote Emmanuel Macron to counter Marine Le Pen - a position that the LFI leader reiterated this Sunday for the 2022 deadline because "the instructions have no weight today" according to him.

The Minister in charge of Citizenship Marlène Schiappa spoke on Monday, indicating on BFMTV that she "will vote (t) for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, without scruple", even if she would be "very vigilant" on her policy.

Impossible duel?

But for Aurore Bergé, “both”, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, “are outside the republican field”: “Marine Le Pen is in a logic of extremely violent fracturing of French society.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, unfortunately to rub shoulders with him for three and a half years in the National Assembly, I see his attitude on all subjects, on an alleged Islamophobia, on the march he attended, he has unfortunately completely changed, he is no longer in the Republican camp today, ”she accused.

Would she therefore vote white?

"I will vote Emmanuel Macron", was limited to answer Aurore Bergé by saying that she believed that a duel Le Pen / Mélenchon "will not happen".

She also considered that “the responsibility does not fall on Emmanuel Macron to know in front of whom he will be qualified;

it is up to the left to be able to meet, to the right to have an alternative project to present ”.
