“Vladimir Putin invades Ukraine“

It ensures: “From February 24, Vladimir Poutine invades Ukraine, everyone puts us in the same bag, Marine Le Pen, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Éric Zemmour and then in the polls I am the only one to suffer from it”. At this moment, he observes “some of my voters are rallying behind Emmanuel Macron and then, seeing that I’m declining in the polls, those who had come from Marine Le Pen, fearing the rise of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, came back to Marine Le Pen”.
