However, she stressed that "everyone will have noticed the delays, the delays in taking into consideration the seriousness of the pandemic, the ideological and often contradictory choices of the government and the President of the Republic". "One day, the balance sheet will have to be drawn from the decisions taken by the President of the Republic and especially from those which were not taken," she said.
Marine Le Pen reiterated its request to close the borders "with the most affected countries: Italy, Spain, Iran among others" as well as the closure of the airport platforms, with the exception of connections with the Overseas Territories and the return of "Compatriots".
