After almost two months of silence, Marine Le Pen will give her big speech of return this Sunday, September 15th. The opportunity for the president of the National Gathering, winner of the European May last, to revive the offensive against Emmanuel Macron.

With our special correspondent in Fréjus, Anne Soetemondt

" Emmanuel Macron? He is already in the presidential campaign so we will not let him campaign alone, "says Marine Le Pen. A few hours before her big speech, the president of the National Assembly does not hide it: with the municipal next March, then the departmental and regional, it is indeed 2022 and the presidential beginning to profile. A long electoral sequence in the form, she says, of " carabiners that are fixed, one by one, to the wall to climb to the final goal ".

Marine Le Pen is therefore offensive against a president she finds " without courage " in the face of a yellow jacket crisis that is not over. " The heart of France is boiling, " she analyzes, persuaded that the coming months will be marked by new " volcanic eruptions ".

Determined to take advantage of the municipal, extreme right leader intends to engage in the campaign by going to support candidates without appearing on a list. To those who ask her if the RN will be able to put up as many lists as in 2014, Marine Le Pen replies that she is not worried, but she is careful not to give the least quantified objective.
