Front National leader Marine Le Pen slammed French President Emmanuel Macron for his governance as president during her campaign launch for the 2019 European Parliament election in the French town of Frejus on Sunday.
“It’s increasingly obvious that Macron isn’t solving problems, he’s buying time. He doesn’t have a grand vision, he’s feeling his way. He’s not marching forward, he’s crawling.”
“The battle for the European elections, which is starting, can change everything. It’s up to us whether we’ll rise to the occasion.”
“The latest Odexa poll puts us neck and neck with [Macron’s party] ‘la Republique en Marche’ with 21 per cent of the votes. Since Emmanuel Macron told us to come and get him, our voters immediately replied, ‘Here we come!'”
“Today, we’re no longer the marginalised ones. They are. It’s Mrs. Merkel who is losing more power every day. It’s the stumbling Mr. Juncker. And it’s Emmanuel Macron, the tightrope-walking president, who’s walking over the void. It’s [Alexis] Tsipras, [Jean-Luc] Melenchon’s ally, who’s lying down, and our friend [Matteo] Salvini who’s standing up!”
