RN members remain “optimistic” according to Laurent Jacobelli who questions the fact that the sponsorships are public and denounces an “obstructing democracy”.
“We don’t have all of our sponsorships”, regrets the spokesperson for the National Rally and its candidate Marine Le Pen, Laurent Jacobelli, Sunday January 23 on franceinfo, by refusing to give the number of promises collected. The RN hopes to receive 600 sponsorship promises to be sure that 500 sponsorships are truly submitted to the Constitutional Council before the deadline, March 4, 2022, a month before the first round of the presidential election.

“We are optimistic by nature and also because we cannot imagine that Marine Le Pen, who gathered 11 million French people in the second round of the last presidential election, could be prevented from being a candidate in this presidential election. difficult, I do not hide it from you”, he acknowledges.
Laurent Jacobelli questions the fact that sponsorships are public and believes that, “when François Hollande made the decision in 2016 that the sponsorships would be public, he made it consciously. It was to prevent a certain number of candidacies” and because, “while a team is looking for funding, looking for sponsorship, they have their minds busy”.
He admits that it takes a “filtered” so that only serious candidates can stand in a presidential election but “a filter is not a barrier that prevents the opposition from presenting itself”. In this case, he denounces a “hindering democracy”.
