This Thursday, June 27, 2024, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, the president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella and the boss of the PS, Olivier Faure, representing the New Popular Front debated on the France 2 set.

"This is a serious turning point", estimated Gabriel Attal.

"Racists, anti-Semites and homophobes"

Gabriel Attal accused the RN of having invested "more than a hundred candidates" having made "racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks", which Jordan Bardella denied.

The controversy over dual nationals relaunched

Budgetary choices of the left called into question by Gabriel Attal who also believes that'"We cannot trust the&rsquo ;extreme right regarding women's rights". Jordan Bardella affirms that if his camp wins, he will be "the first minister of women's rights".

A new skirmish between the Prime Minister and the president of the National Rally on the question of dual nationals. Gabriel Attal accuses him of stigmatizing them.

Macron reacts from Brussels

A controversy which Emmanuel Macron also subsequently took up from Brussels, where he participated in the European summit, judging this RN project to ban dual nationals from certain sensitive jobs ’ ;quot;infamous and ridiculous.

"What arrogance, the whole debate is as if they were in the place", added the head of state, shooting a new arrow at the RN of Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen.
