The proposals on immigration presented yesterday by the President of Les Rรฉpublicains under the title “ending mass immigration in France” clearly show that the speeches of Laurent Wauquiez and Marine Le Pen seem almost identical on certain topics today, even if the leader of LR denies any convergence.
With the call for a referendum, a move typically dear to Marine Le Pen, to approve or not, one might well wonder if, between these two parties, the barriers are beginning to break?
The motivation “because it is the French people and not the traffickers who should decide who enters and stays in France” does this not echo Marine Le Pen’s sentiment “we are at home”?
In this vein of behavior, when can we expect a class photo between sovereigntists and nationalists?
The goal is clear: to seize the top spot on the right.
Moreover, the upcoming name change of the front to National Rally is tailored to forge alliances with figures from different backgrounds.
And with good reason, between the two parties, it is more of a battle to the death being waged to seize the top spot on the right and be at the forefront of the coming clash between globalists and conservatives. With a first verdict gleamed from the 2019 European elections.
“There is no ambiguity: the right is Les Rรฉpublicains, not the National Front,” constantly insists Laurent Wauquiez, who nonetheless unabashedly embraces themes dear to the FN.
A looming battle for two movements aiming at the same pool of voters.
But is the separation between the FN and Les Rรฉpublicains real? The question arises regarding ideas, obviously (security, Euroscepticism, immigration, and identity).
To conclude, no one is unaware of the regular discussions between local LR and FN elected officials in anticipation of the next municipal elections.
