After the shock of dissolution, the time must be for the “governing” political forces to come together in order to prevent the economic and geopolitical catastrophe that would be the arrival of an RN majority in the Assembly. You must not choose the wrong opponent. The stakes are unprecedented since the war. After its 31% in the European elections and Marine Le Pen’s 41% in the presidential election, the populist movement born on the far right is on the verge of exercising legislative and executive power. A controlled power but a considerable power. It had to happen one day, and this disastrous day now has a date: July 7, 2024.
It is up to the enemies of radicalism to prevent it, by favoring candidates for union behind candidates from the camp of reason. The reality, in fact, is that today neither the universalist socialists despite their recovery, nor the moderate Republicans condemned to a folding seat, are in a position to offer a credible alternative. This requirement should lead old parties to make painful but necessary sacrifices in order to oppose union candidacies to the RN.
