All citizens are called to the polls this Sunday, April 24 to make a choice between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. But apparently, one of them was more in a hurry than the others to go to his polling station in Forbach: Florian Philippot, former number 2 of the FN who became the National Rally, arrested on a Marne highway in a car traveling at nearly 180 km / h.
Driven by a driver, the vehicle was indeed his and was immediately taken awayaccording to The Parisian who was able to reach him to confirm the information. The politician explained that he “slept in the back of the vehicle“but that such a speed”was not well“However, he explained that the two men were going to Forbach, in Moselle, to vote.
They did reach Forbach during the day… but by train! The police indeed accompanied them to the nearest station to allow them to reach the city where Florian Philippot will present himself in June as deputy. But beware, there is no longer any question for him of supporting the far-right party represented by Marine Le Pen and of which he was number 2 for a long time.
Between 2016 and 2017, his guideline meeting more and more voices against him had caused his departure from the party, giving way to younger people like Jordan Bardella. In difficulty the following years, the one who had been outed by Closer in 2014 had returned to public life by creating his party, Les Patriotes, and by adopting an anti-mask and especially anti-vaccine tone which had attracted a certain part of the population.
Next June, he will try to become a deputy for the constituency of Forbach, his stronghold for several years. A test he missed each time, while the National Front won several seats in the Assembly.
