“If this is the case, then I appeal to voters who are attached to France, because Jean-Luc Mélenchon supports racialist theories, Islamist groups” and advocates “a policy of deconstruction of our country”, estimated Marine Le Pen. According to her, “all those who are patriots must look at this situation and vote in conscience to allow a national candidate to be able to be present” in the second round.
