"Save who can", "masquerade", "provocation" ... At the National Assembly, La France insoumise (LFI) and the National Rally (RN) pounded Élisabeth Borne, Wednesday July 6, after her declaration of general policy , while the majority called on the other groups of the “republican arch” to “compromise”.

The call for "compromises" of the relative majority

The leader of the Renaissance deputies (ex-LREM), Aurore Bergé, called for "a culture of compromise" with "the republican arc", after legislative elections without an absolute majority for the macronists.

She criticized those who want to "contest in the street" the results of the elections.

In his eyes, "it will be necessary to review the frequency of examination of the texts of law", with "fewer laws, better written, better negotiated" and more "initiatives" parliamentary, as for "the registration of abortion in the Constitution" that it promotes.

The president of the MoDem deputies, Jean-Paul Mattei, considered that the composition of the new Assembly was not "a sign of instability", but "proof of the intact vitality of our democracy".

On the economic level, he underlined "the imperative need to restore our very degraded public finances".

At Horizons - the party chaired by former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe -, Laurent Marcangeli, called "to take a major turn in our way of legislating".

He demanded to "ask the question of the retirement age", a reform promised again on Wednesday by Elisabeth Borne.

The left's "mistrust" of the government

On the left, the leader of the LFI group, Mathilde Panot, was the most offensive in castigating the "strategy" of "save who can" and "leak" of Élisabeth Borne, in the absence of a vote of trust.

The four groups of the Nupes left tabled a motion of censure, out of "mistrust" in the government.

His examination would take place on Friday at the earliest.

L'Insoumise reiterated the demands of Nupes such as the "Smic at 1,500 euros net".

Mathilde Panot again accused the majority of "compromises" with the RN during the vote on key positions in the Assembly.

It is an "extremely serious fault" of "being made footsteps of the far right", also estimated the ecologist Julien Bayou.

His colleague Cyrielle Chatelain criticized the government for its "betrayed" promises on ecology.

On the communist side, André Chassaigne estimated that "presidential hypertrophy has lived" and that "democracy is regaining color" with the legislative elections.

He claims to "review our tax system from top to bottom to guarantee a better distribution of wealth", criticizing the government for a policy which "combines social injustice, precariousness, climate inaction".

The boss of the PS deputies, Boris Vallaud, told the Prime Minister that "we will have to listen, hear, also give up many of your most unjust projects" in order "to bring this Parliament to life".

He excluded elected RNs: "What France has done great in its history, it has done without you and most often, it has done it against you."

The far right and "political provocation"

On the far right, Marine Le Pen felt that keeping the Prime Minister in her post after the legislative elections was "almost an institutional incongruity" and "a political provocation".

The patron saint of RN deputies called for "the consideration of our priorities, our motions and our amendments" and considered that "it is therefore up to the government to decide on the blocking or the institutional functioning".

Neither "compromise" nor "blocking" among the Republicans

For the Les Républicains party, "our responsibility is clear: neither compromise nor small arrangements" with Emmanuel Macron, but "never sterile blocking", promised the leader of the right-wing deputies, Olivier Marleix. 

"Yes, we are ready to vote for all the texts which will go in the direction of the national surge, that of purchasing power through work, the reconstruction of our industrial apparatus, the punishment of offenders or access for all health," he said.

The Liot group calls for a "new democratic pact"

For the Liberties, Independents, Overseas and Territories group (Liot), Bertrand Pancher called for "a new democratic pact" to "radically break with all the practices in force for a long time".

He defended "a Republic of territories" rather than the "Parisian-Parisian prism".
