LR "is in opposition and will remain there", warns Christian Jacob

He had promised, before the second round of the legislative elections, that Les Républicains would be a “useful opposition to the country”.

And the boss of the LR, Christian Jacob, remained on this line on Sunday evening when the results of the legislative elections were announced, where his camp (LR-UDI) would obtain between 54 and 80 seats, according to estimates.

"It's a stinging failure for Emmanuel Macron, who pays for the cynicism that was his for having constantly instrumentalized the extremes", he judges.

And "as far as we are concerned, we campaigned in the opposition, we are in the opposition, we will remain in the opposition", hammered the president LR from the headquarters of the party.
