Who is the most oppressed? Every 18 June, the race raged within the political class to present itself as the main, and legitimate, to inherit the founder of the Fifth Republic. For the 80th anniversary of the appeal of the general in London, the party leaders are multiplying their tributes, place their praise, and demonstrate, without saying it, how de Gaulle would have validated their ideas. Overview of the different political camps.

Marine Le Pen shares her fight against the “decline” of France

Who would have thought Jean-Marie Le Pen to pay tribute to the general de Gaulle? Yet this is what is working for her daughter, Marine, in going – despite a visit disrupted by opponents to the island of Sein (Brittany) this Thursday, June 18. If his father was a fierce opponent, she wants his side to recall that de Gaulle was, like the national Gathering, “haunted by the idea of the decline of France”. Patriot “by reason and by feeling, he knew that France, ‘Our lady France’ as he was called by affection and carnal, drawing from its roots in a millenary history, but it was not to be less fragile. It is of oak trees being felled”, she recalled in an article published in The Journal of parliamentary and political .

Jean-Luc Mélenchon is reflected in its economic beliefs

In the Figaro , he stated that De Gaulle represents the “DNA” of his “family” policy. The head of LR is annoying, in particular of the “opportunism” of some of his colleagues from other edges tempted to appropriate this legacy after having “typed” above. “The gaullism, it is an idea that was strong and modern, which is defending both the national sovereignty and the defence of a strong Europe”, would also like to remind Daniel Fasquelle in Paris .

Olivier Faure greet his “hope” in the “fight”

If the socialist Party is more discreet, its history and its relationship with François Mitterrand, Olivier Faure also welcomed Thursday morning the memory of the general. “80 years ago, from London, general charles de Gaulle called the French to the resistance. He asked them to deny the inevitable and spoke of the hope without which no struggle can not be carried out”, he writes in a tweet. There will be a reference to the current situation and the “struggles” today, that they are against discrimination, against poverty to the hospital, and soon against the back of the pension reform. The former socialist president, François Hollande, has also praised its “spirit of resistance against nazi oppression”.
