The finalist stopped at a PMU bar. She also wandered around town and took selfies with the locals. “I hope you’ll pass,” a lady told him. “You have to pass,” adds another passer-by.
A rural candidate?
On the main square, Marine Le Pen spoke about the demonstrations and the stands against her against her accession to the second round. “I think the French find it unpleasant to see that their choice is thus contested in the street. I want to tell these people, go and vote! This demonization is above all political and media. If the system puts in place a such demonization is that he is afraid,” she said at the microphone of Europe 1.
“If Emmanuel Macron was so sure of winning, he wouldn’t have to go get sportsmen, actors. This brutal agitation is up to the concerns of the system,” continued the National Rally candidate. While Emmanuel Macron is holding his first major campaign meeting this afternoon in Marseille, France’s second city, Marine Le Pen wants to show her closeness to the French. She poses as the candidate who defends rurality.
