" A photo please." You are a love. It has become a habit: for a few years Marine Le Pen has been at home at the Agricultural Show. But behind her big smile, behind the selfies, it is the 2022 presidential candidate who walks the stands of the Porte de Versailles.

A candidate for the offensive against President Macron who, in the same aisles last weekend, warned farmers against the sirens of the National Rally.

" For once, he would do well to delay his entry into the presidential campaign a little. Come and tell the farmers that they would retire at 85% of the minimum wage and then come and say : "Ah well, no, it can't be done", it is despicable, "she said.

Marine Le Pen gives a blow for blow. Better, it attacks the president on his management of the coronavirus or with the probable recourse to 49.3 on the pension reform.

“ I find that when we refuse the referendum and in addition we go through 49.3, it's still a bit much. Clearly, there is a desire on the part of the government to force through from the start, ”she comments.

Three weeks before the municipal elections , Marine Le Pen is therefore campaigning well, but for the presidential election. It will also present this Wednesday a white paper on 95-point security, one of the major challenges, according to her, for 2022.
