PARIS - The head of French President Emmanuel Macron’s party list for upcoming European elections launched her campaign on Tuesday with a potshot at Britain’s pro-Brexit leaders.
“It was a good slogan but the wrong answer, and we can see the state they’re in now,” said Loiseau, a career diplomat who previously headed France’s elite ENA civil service college.Loiseau, who has taken the lead government role on Brexit talks, had already caused a stir when she joked last week that she had named her cat “Brexit”.
Among the major French political parties, Macron’s is the last one to announce its candidates for the European parliament - a signal he is counting mostly on himself to campaign in the elections for the Strasbourg-based assembly. According to recent polls putting him just ahead of far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s party, he could expect to win about 20 seats in the assembly.
