LFI deputy for the Somme François Ruffin on Monday accused the “wolf Macron” of being “sheep” during the legislative elections, assuring that the president will do nothing for purchasing power and ecology once he will have a majority in the Assembly.

“For Macron, there is still an election to come and the wolf must become a sheep, the wolf Macron must show his white paw at the door of the sheepfold, he must put honey in his voice to say look how I will do ecology, look how I’m going to do social,” Ruffin quipped on RTL. “But once he is elected, once he has a majority in the Assembly, the wolf will become a wolf again, he will do everything to ensure that CAC 40 companies make money, so that they don’t pay no taxes,” he added. “He will not fight for there to be purchasing power for the French, for there to be ecological measures that are taken,” he further accused.
Graph in support, the former journalist criticized the runoff theory dear to President Macron for being false. “This fad that they’re making profits and creating jobs is wrong,” he said.
“The question should be how we adapt France to the drought”
Regarding the future Prime Minister, who must be appointed during the day to replace Jean Castex, if Macron “is looking for a woman from the left, with many quotes, to carry out a right-wing policy, I don’t see the point. It’s a bit of a five-legged sheep,” he quipped. “He will be a collaborator of Mr. Macron, as he generally wiped his feet on his prime ministers, so that’s not going to be a game-changer,” he continued.
Candidate for his re-election in the polls of June 12 and 19, the deputy Insoumis also swept aside the controversy opened by the environmentalist mayor of Grenoble Éric Piolle by saying he was in favor of the burkini and the monokini in municipal swimming pools. “I really don’t care. That’s his problem! Let him manage, thundered Ruffin. When I see the situation in the country and the situation of people in my area, there is not a single person who will tell me about the regulations for municipal swimming pools in the city of Grenoble. The question is: will there be water in the municipal swimming pools of Grenoble and elsewhere. This is the issue. How are we going to manage the coming water crisis? The big subject that should be in the campaign, tragic for your children and mine, is that he hasn’t had more for 3 months. The question should be how we adapt France to the drought,” he said.
