"Old world words, with old world techniques"

According to Marine Le Pen, these are "the words of the old world, with the techniques of the old world" and that "only demonstrates one thing, it is the collusion that exists between La République en Marche and Les Républicains, who present a common candidate in a hundred cities ”, which is“ considerable ”. "It is now the Republicans on the march," she mocked.
