Marine Le Pen, Donald Trump's support in France, focuses on Thursday criticism of policies from all sides, who accuse him of fueling tensions like the US president, in the aftermath of the chaos sown on Capitol Hill by his supporters.

Donald Trump "did not measure the scope of his remarks on a part" of his supporters "that the defeat has exacerbated" and who entered the buildings of the American Congress on Wednesday, the president of the National Assembly said on Thursday, acknowledging for the first time the victory of Joe Biden as President of the United States.

Trump "played with the fire of emotions," added RN MEP Gilbert Collard.

Marine Le Pen, who welcomed in 2016 the "emergence of a new world" with the election of Donald Trump, had not so far recognized the victory of the Democrat, invoking the legal remedies launched by the Republican's support against an alleged "fraud" in this ballot.

The far-right leader had not relayed the accusations of fraud but several officials of her party had echoed them, questioning the legitimacy of the poll.

A close friend of Emmanuel Macron, LREM MEP Stéphane Séjourné, described the RN president as an "arsonist" when she said in November that she "absolutely did not recognize" Joe Biden's victory.

"It is a political fault" not to have recognized earlier the victory of the Democrat, abounded the leader of senators LR Bruno Retailleau, who also points to a "malaise of democracy" expressed by the movement of yellow vests , marked by violence.

"The malaise of democracy (...) is in the fact that many French people have the feeling that power has been confiscated, that their voice, their suffering no longer count," he stressed.

Support of the yellow vests, which are for her the expression of "downgrading", Marine Le Pen assured that these demonstrators "did not contest the legitimacy (of the) presidential election" when they wanted to go to the Elysee Palace.

She accused the Black Bloc "anarchists" of sowing violence in their demonstrations, with the "complacency" of power.

"It is indeed complicated for France + yellow vests + to give lessons in democracy to the United States," said Jérôme Rivière, who had taken a delegation from the RN to follow Trump's campaign and relayed the accusations of fraud.

"Western democracies are sick of globalized elites who have betrayed people."

- "Poisons" -

This violence is "the culmination of years of complacency vis-à-vis the far right", judged the senators of the CRCE (communist) group.

"Those for whom (Trump) is (a model) in France should think twice," said ex-LR president of the Ile-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, denouncing "democratic denial, excess "by Donald Trump.

The leader of LFI Jean-Luc Mélenchon asked the RN and its president "to withdraw their support for Trump", seeing in this violence "an attempted putsch of the far right".

LREM MP Marie Lebec asked "who imports from the United States the worst of the political and ethnic division exactly, Madame Le Pen? You certainly, with your friends! Populism is poison for our democracies".

Marine Le Pen, candidate for the Elysee Palace, said conversely that he hoped that Emmanuel Macron - who called for "not to give in" to the "violence of a few who want to question" democracy - - does not "have the temptation to import into France the worst of what is done in the United States, that is to say the division", including "ethnic".

Several RN officials have also seen "censorship" in the suspension of Donald Trump's Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Eager to appear credible in the presidential election, the head of the RN does not want to set up the turbulent Republican as a "model".

If Marine Le Pen retains her rejection of multilateralism or corporate relocations, and seduces a popular electorate close to that of Trump, she criticizes her management of the Covid-19 epidemic.

She herself has never questioned the confinement or wearing of the mask, hated by Trump supporters.
