Marine Le Pen, at the National Assembly, May 19, 2020. - Stephane Lemouton-POOL / SIPA

Poisoned support? "If indeed the choice is between Ms. Hidalgo and Ms. Dati, me personally, if I was a voter in Paris, I will vote Dati rather than Hidalgo. This was announced by Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally on France Inter, Wednesday morning. Adding that the outgoing mayor of Paris was "the worst mayor that can exist".

In the first round of the municipal elections, Anne Hidalgo came out on top with almost 30% of the votes cast before the mayor of the 7th arrondissement (22%) and Agnès Buzyn (18%). A first poll before the second round of municipal elections on June 28 gives the list of the outgoing mayor credited with 44% of the voting intentions, that of Rachida Dati by 33% and that of the candidate LREM by 20%.

Marine Le Pen supports her ex-companion in Perpignan

In this interview, Marine Le Pen evoked the situation of her former companion and deputy Louis Aliot, who came first in the first round in Perpignan (122,000 inhabitants) with 35% of the votes cast. "I support the candidacy of Louis, I think he will be elected, I am delighted". The RN bases a lot of hopes on this city, which would be, in the event of a victory on June 28, the largest municipality won by the party since Toulon between 1995 and 2001.

The president of the National Rally will not, however, travel to Perpignan because of the health crisis "which prohibits being able to meet more than 10". Winning "a city of 100,000 inhabitants will be able to demonstrate what can be done to wrest a city from difficulty, suffering, unemployment, insecurity," she said.
