4000 people gathered in Avignon for the meeting of Marine Le Pen

From 5:00 p.m. the Parc Expo car park in Avignon saw an uninterrupted flow of cars and buses. 2 hours later, it’s a Marine Le Pen triumphant who went on stage in front of an audience all committed to his cause. For an hour, unsurprisingly, the candidate for the national rally unfolded her main themes. Marine Le Pen called for “to block“to Emmanuel Macron and to”this caste that rules us with arrogance“. She also presented herself as the candidate of the “people against the oligarchy“.

Reaching out to the voters of Jean-Luc Mélenchon

Promising a “French spring“, if she is elected, Marine Le Pen appeals to the “patriots” from all sides. But those of Jean-Luc Mélanchon were particularly targeted. No allusion on the other hand to the voters of Reconquest. Eric Zémour’s party nevertheless came 4th in the department with 11.7% of the vote in the first round. Some supporters of the polemicist had also made the trip. If they denounced a populist speech at the beginning of Marine Le Pen’s speech, sixty minutes later, many admitted to having seen on stage a “a real candidate“.
