On June 12, 2024, at 8:17 AM, the leader of the Republican Party, Westodi, stated, 'I am taking responsibility in a time of extreme danger for the country, as France is facing threats from the shameless traitor union.' This proposal of cooperation with the far-right National Alliance by Westodi has shocked France by crossing the political spectrum and dismantling the 40-year-old 'line of defense' against the far-right. The Republican Party's deputy leader and spokesperson, Kariane, justified this shift by stating the importance of aligning with the National Alliance, the primary opposition party, as indicated by historic election results and anti-Macron sentiments. This move has sparked intense criticism and internal dissent within the party, with members calling Westodi a traitor and threatening to expel him. As Macron announced early parliamentary elections, various parties are adopting different strategies to secure victory, with the far-right National Alliance gaining significant support in polls compared to Macron's Renaissance Party, leading to alliances forming across the political spectrum.
