E. Leclerc, the distribution leader and president of its strategic committee, expressed concerns about the potential for an ungovernable country following the legislative elections. He believes that the dissolution of the National Assembly will result in an Assembly divided into three equal thirds, potentially leading to a period of non-governability or poor governability for France.
During a press visit to the new Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition at the Hélène and Edouard Leclerc Culture Fund in Landerneau, Finistère, Michel-Édouard Leclerc noted that President Macron had avoided commenting on his defeat in the European elections by dissolving the National Assembly. He described it as overturning the chessboard.
Leclerc emphasized the importance of stability for Europe and strong leadership, which he believes is necessary to avoid isolation and embolden Putin. He criticized political leaders for a lack of substance and failure to address issues affecting the public, such as rising inflation. He pointed out that politicians need to connect with popular demands to avoid further disconnect and alienation of voters.
Overall, Leclerc painted a picture of a turbulent political landscape in Europe where governance, credibility, and leadership are paramount. He underscored the need for politicians to listen to people’s demands and take meaningful action to address pressing issues facing France and Europe.
