"By making such serious, lying and insulting remarks, Elisabeth Borne insults the first opposition party and smears the millions of French people who vote for the RN," Marine Le Pen's lieutenant said on Twitter.
"This government is ready for any indecency to make people forget its record: no one will be fooled," he added.
"I do not believe at all in the normalization of the National Rally," "heir to Pétain" and "dangerous ideology," the prime minister told Radio J.
"Elisabeth Borne is at the same time uneducated, unworthy and incapable," also criticized RN deputy Sébastien Chenu in "Political Questions" (France inter/France info/Le Monde).
"Uneducated because it forgets that in the history of the National Front, people founded it like Georges Bidault, president of the Council and resistant, like Michel de Camaret, resistant," said the elected representative of the North.
Pierre Bousquet, former Waffen-SS, also participated in the founding of the National Front in 1972.
"I do not make to Mrs. Borne the trial of having participated in an administration whose head was at the time François Mitterrand who received the Francisque," a decoration under Vichy, said Sebastien Chenu.
"She is unworthy because she masks through her excesses of language undemocratic practices when she restores censorship, by seizing or redacting a book that talks about her life," "The Secret" by Bérengère Bonte (The Archipelago), he attacked. The court is due to deliver its decision on June 30, after a summons from the Prime Minister for invasion of his privacy.
"She is incapable, she would do better to focus on the French rather than insult millions of voters," the MP concluded.
