Government spokesman Gabriel Attal believes that both right and left opposition "pampers" Marine Le Pen, while her election would lead to "economic chaos", in an interview with Le Parisien dated Sunday.

The demonization of Marine Le Pen is "first of all reinforced by the ideological emptiness of the opposition", assures Gabriel Attal.

But Marine Le Pen "is no less dangerous: her election would lead to economic chaos and we know that she would govern with people like Frédéric Chatillon or Axel Loustau (former leader and activist of the GUD, Editor's note), who have been condemned for apologizing for Nazism… ”, he assures us.

For him, "the majority is the last and the only one to want to fight Marine Le Pen".

"Today, the oppositions of the right as of the left spare the RN and the far right. I would even say that they pamper them. But by dint of sparing it, they make it a guard of honor."

They "undoubtedly believe that the election of Marine Le Pen will cause such a shock that it will allow them to be reborn and to restore their political health: it is an act of absolute cynicism. In fact, the oppositions hope to emerge from nothingness. through chaos, "he said.

When asked about Xavier Bertrand, he replies that he "awaits his first personal proposal in order to be able to express".

As for the union of the left: "a photo shoot is not a common program", he asserts.

Regarding his former political family (PS), he recalls that "they had four years to reinvent themselves".

"Result: they are always in political navel-gazing and never talk about ideas. The reality is that they have nothing to do with each other and do not agree on anything: certain socialists and Yannick Jadot are more close to us than to Jean-Luc Mélenchon ", he declares.
