“We were delighted to have a big party, but here it is upset with the arrival of Ms. Le Pen. We are being robbed a little of a ceremony that wanted to be nice ”. The mayor of Sein (Finistère) Didier Fouquet has a little bad since he learned that Marine Le Pen will go to his island Thursday to celebrate the call of June 18.

A big party was initially planned on the island with "a bagad, a navy schooner and a number of officials". But the arrival of the president of the National Rally came to upset all plans and only a small ceremony in select committee will be held on the island before the arrival of Marine Le Pen.

"There will be no one from the town hall to welcome him"

"We are not asking that Ms. Le Pen come, but we can not prevent it" said Didier Fouquet, saying he was "shocked" by this trip which aims to "recover images, symbols". "There will be no one from the town hall to welcome him," he said, adding that a group of Senans was being created to protest against his arrival. "Most of the people here are trying, in one form or another, to show their opposition and dissatisfaction," he said.

"If Ms. Le Pen arrives and finds all the doors closed and not a cat on the streets, this is something that could mark," he added. The PCF federation of Finistère for its part calls for a rally Thursday morning in Audierne, from which Marine Le Pen is to leave for Sein, to show her "that she is not welcome".
