"Most Impunity"

Before the island of Sein, it was in Dijon, Tuesday, that Marine Le Pen was targeted by several political opponents who came to contest her visit to the Burgundian city, place of inter-community violence since this weekend. "Marine Le Pen was welcomed by a few anti-fascist activists who, once again, enjoy the most total impunity and who take advantage of it every time to break everything when there are demonstrations, mobilizations or events", pointed to Jordan Bardella.

More generally, beyond the behavior of these opponents, Jordan Bardella blames the executive: "The government does not do much, it must be said, to put out of harm's way these militias, as it does does little in the face of the delinquency that is rotting the lives of our compatriots, "denounces the young vice-president of the far-right party, while the leader of the RN was escorted by the police.
