The European elections will be "the opportunity to take Macron on two fronts, in France and Europe," said Sunday Marine Le Pen by launching his party in the campaign with a list rallied by two former elected LR.

" If Emmanuel Macron does not have the wisdom to change the policy, if he does not have the wisdom to turn again to the people by a dissolution, to appeal to the democratic judgment, then the democratic arbitration will have to come European elections, "said the President of the National Rally in front of some 2,000 activists gathered in Paris.

" It will be a question of beating Macron ", confronted for several weeks with the crisis of "yellow vests", that the RN supports, added the finalist of the presidential one in 2017, underlining that the poll of May 26 would be " like the replica of the presidential ".

" In the context of the healthy revolt of" yellow vests ", these elections will be an opportunity to untie the political crisis born of blindness, intransigence, class contempt, tax spoliation and human disconnection a president, disturbing in his attitudes, disturbing in his behavior, incompetent in his functions, "said the head of the RN while its activists took over the campaign slogan," we come ".

"The French must be a priority at home"

She presented the first 12 candidates on her list, " on which all French people who aspire to real change, to a total break with this anti-social and anti-national policy " are destined to meet .

The young head list Jordan Bardella, 23 years old, without prompter and in an offensive tone, attacked the " migrants that Mr Macron and the European Commission want to impose in our towns and villages ", considering that " it is home that these migrants must be relocated but not at home . " The French must have priority at home ," he added.

" We have four months to campaign, to turn this popular revolt into a revolution of common sense, " he continued, referring to the " yellow vests ", this " eruption of the people in the public debate ".

Former Minister LR Thierry Mariani, who joined the RN list in 3rd place, said the European Commission was chaired by " a notorious drunkard, Jean-Paul Juncker, (who) perfectly embodies the drunken boat " and that "it will be necessary to tear off the bar of the ship to force it to serve the peoples ." For this fervent defender of Russia, " the main threat no longer comes from the east " but " Islamization " and " immigration " with which " the continent may become the new Atlantis ".

In second place on the list is a newcomer, Hélène Laporte, a banking analyst and a member of the national office (extended management). Christiane Delannay-Clara, originally from Guadeloupe, who worked with the socialist mayor of Créteil (Val-de-Marne) Laurent Cathala, occupies the 12th position.
