Editorial: Le Monde

• The Rassemblement National (RN), empowered after its victory in the European elections, is avoiding addressing the majority of topics during the election campaign.
• RN President, Jordan Bardella, aims to be Emmanuel Macron's Prime Minister if his party wins the elections, but only in case of an absolute majority.
• Among the RN's abandoned promises are the removal of VAT on basic goods and the exemption of income tax for those under 30.
• In terms of security and immigration, the RN adopts an offensive stance, seeking to reintroduce minimum mandatory penalties and suspending benefits to parents of repeat offenders.

Conclusion: The RN reveals its true nature by focusing on national preference and rejecting the other, and it is not prepared to govern.
