The trip to Guadeloupe of the candidate Marine Le Pen has been disrupted. While she was responding in her hotel, on the evening of Saturday March 26, to questions from Francis Letellier, nationalist activists interrupted the recording of the program.

While she is in the middle of recording an interview for France 3, Marine Le Pen is molested and her microphone torn off. Her bodyguard is forced to protect her, the interview must be interrupted, because about forty independence activists land in her hotel, in Gosier in Guadeloupe. A few jets of water and cardboard marbles, but no direct confrontation. The candidate had to be evacuated and the demonstrators left the scene on their own.

Yet the same morning, at Pointe-à-Pitre airport (Guadeloupe), the atmosphere was rather warm. Marine le Pen had never been to the West Indies since she took over the presidency of the party in 2011. A welcoming music committee and Guadeloupeans were waiting for her. 35 years ago, his father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, could not even land on the tarmac of the airport in Martinique, invaded by 3,000 demonstrators. Diverted to Guadeloupe, his plane ended up taking off again quickly, heading for Paris. Sunday April 27, the candidate maintained her program.
