With 1,600 euros of pension, this widow wanted to express anger, but did not “do not know” if she wishes to give power to the RN in two weeks. “I have mixed feelings, maybe that would change things. Maybe up there they need to think about those down there”she confides.

She depends on the disabled adult allowance, which she would like to see “revalued“. At 24, Vincent Belloir, a construction machine driver, wants to limit the reception of migrants. According to him, in Brittany as elsewhere, it was the agricultural crisis that tipped the elections.
