Eight days before the first round of the municipal elections, the aspiring mayor Rassemblement national (RN) of Marseille, Stéphane Ravier , knows it: the presence of Marine Le Pen could be the boost that would allow him to come out on top. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to welcome our President Marine Le Pen as it should be ! " In any case, the ambition is there: " Let us not pass up this historic opportunity ", says Stéphane Ravier.

The president of the RN begins her speech by speaking of Marseille, by calling the second city of France to escape to the right after nearly 30 years of Gaudin era , but her objective is different: " France is watching you, because the victory of the National rally in Marseille will make the Elysée Palace and its tenant tremble ”.

Marine Le Pen is already leading another election, the presidential . Beyond the Ravier vote, it is therefore to an anti-Macron vote that she calls Marseille voters. Think of the comments : at 8:02 pm, March 15, when the first results fall. Will Macron be repudiated or not ? She asks. Response from the audience in choir: “ Yes ! "

I call on the French to seize their citizen power to vote the only real censure motion, because the government's censure motion is in your hands, near your polling station. To unambiguously mark a distrust of the government and Emmanuel Macron, it is therefore necessary to vote for the main opposition party, that is to say, the National Rally.
