An entry on the scene in the image of a campaign personified in the extreme. In the middle of the huge “M” turquoise blue which serves as a decor at its meetings, Thursday, April 7, at the Palace des Expositions of Perpignan, Marine Le Pen comes out of the darkness to advance under the spotlight, therefrom the scene of a Detached air, crosses arms and clogged eyes, facing some 3,000 participants encompassing “Marine President!”. The latter gathering before the first round had the taste of a coming celebration, marked by a fervor and an unusual militant joy in the third presidential campaign of the national gathering candidate (RN).
The last polls confirmed, Thursday, the dynamics that brings it closer to Emmanuel Macron and the gap that would tighten in a possible second round. A good news for the far-right party that read in the smiles of the leaders, all present at the foot of the scene and delighted to linger as one mottolled at the intermission of a show. “There is an alchemy, an awareness of the country, a perfect osmosis between a program and the one that embodies it”, slides Nicolas Lesage, the very discreet ex-director of cabinet of Marine Le Pen. After seven presidential elections at the service of a Pen, the Europété Jean-Lin Lacapelle believes: “The crossing of the curves will take place!” This little world was brought back to the discipline by the members of the order service, headset and flame border in pins, they too in mood perky.

No results are acquired as long as you are Have not voted! “She has, this time, varied the palette of her arguments. “The time has come for the people to get up, she encouraged. Never the prospect of a real change was so close … but it only depends on you!”
“To the presidential election, we do not abstain!”
The heiress of Jean-Marie Le Pen also played the chorus of anger. “Remember the lies, the business, the infantilization of the people,” she listed by overwhelming her audience of memories of humiliation, before calling to convert protest to votes. “To those who have been able to break with the civic reflex by anger, by disgust, pleaded the hon. Member for Pas-de-Calais, I understand you, but there, become a citizen again. To the presidential election, we do not abstain!” Third argument: adversity. “The system is at the abois. He knows he can lose and use all the means to prevent our arrival in power,” warned Louis Aliot shortly. Under the golds of the Republic, says the mayor of Perpignan, we begin to hear “the anger of the people”.
