Republicans name for a “sanitary cordon” round LFI | EUROtoday

To assault La France insoumise (LFI), the media terrain is good. In an interview with Sunday newspaper (JDD) this February 22, Laurent Wauquiez denounces a political group “toxic for our democratic life” which have to be “politically isolated and ostracized”. To the purpose of asking for its dissolution, will we query it? “I’d love to have the ability to inform you that it is sufficient to dissolve LFI. But that is not the way you win a political battle.”calms the boss of the Les Républicains (LR) deputies. On the right, only the senator from Bouches-du-Rhône, Stéphane Le Rudulier, has been calling for the dissolution of LFI for three years.

Failing to achieve this, others recommend the installation of a “sanitary cordon” around the “rebels”. This is the case of the president of LR, Bruno Retailleau. “Not one vote should go to rebellious candidates,” he assured on the sidelines of a trip to Seine-et-Marne, Thursday February 19. The idea is not new, but would impose itself after the involvement of several parliamentary collaborators of the LFI deputy for Vaucluse, Raphaël Arnault, in the death of the nationalist activist, Quentin Deranque, on February 14 in Lyon. “LFI has transformed the National Assembly into a battlefield. However, verbal violence opens the doors to physical violence,” believes Mr. Retailleau.
