Will Volume II be as successful as Volume I, sold over 100,000 copies? The second and last episode of the memoirs of Jean-Marie Le Pen titled People's Tribune , will be next Wednesday in bookstores. The finalist of the 2002 presidential election tells about his life since 1972, when the Front National was founded, until today. The good sheets are published in the weekly Le Point and the one called the Menhir, reference to the Breton origins of the patriarch, is not tender either with his daughter, Marine Le Pen, or with the party.

" She has certain qualities to do politics, guts, going and going, but she does not trust her. In Volume II of his memoirs , Jean-Marie Le Pen does not go with the back of the spoon to discuss his daughter with whom he has broken politically for a few years.

A Marine Le Pen on the " dictatorial side ", " struggling to surround himself " and who committed " several mistakes ": " the opening on the left ", " the bug on the euro ", but also the debate of between two rounds : " she looked like an excite ."

A debate failed, but that Jean-Marie Le Pen seems basically not regret. " She could have won: but what for? With which staff? He wonders, " Marine's failure may have been providential ".

An uncompromising portrait either of Marion Maréchal , his little girl " calculated ", " distant ", " cold ", but with " a talent above the lot ".

" By doing nothing, it is very popular, one day it will be necessary for him to return ", warns Jean-Marie Le Pen which delivers there a kind of political testament.
