"Too much immigration, too much violence": Lucien Félicité, longtime activist at the National Rally, came on Saturday in Seine-et-Marne to applaud the head of the list in the regional elections in Ile-de-France, Jordan Bardella, who strongly denounced the growing insecurity and "barbarism" in his eyes.

It was the only big meeting of the far-right party in France, constrained by the health crisis as well as finances in the red, for the regional and departmental elections of June 20 and 27.

Candidate for the departmental in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne), in tandem with the former deputy of Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Lisa Haddad, Lucien Félicité can no longer stand urban rodeos in his city, where "all the veiled people voted "for the mayor last year because he" is going to enlarge the mosque ", he says.

"We hope that will change. There is too much immigration, too much violence, it did not exist like that before", adds this activist at the RN for 32 years, technician at the town hall of Paris.

Her daughter tore up her poster near the school saying "shame on each other".

"But why should I be a fan?" He asks, specifying that he comes from Reunion.

"There are no more mixtures, only clans, communities", says Mr. Félicité, who finds that the polemicist Eric Zemmour "is right: it is the great replacement in the RER, we will no longer be French ".

He would find "logical" that young people "in the cities, which burn the flag, return to their country".

"There are fed up," abounds her neighbor Suzanne.

Each wearing a Borsalino, the two brothers Didier and Dominique Pech, 72 and 70 years old, former activists of the neofascist movement New Order who participated in the founding of the National Front in 1972, came to defend France's "identity" but fear, between the two rounds of the regional, "a family reunification from the far left to the right which prevents" the RN from winning, while it is given the lead in the first round in six out of 13 regions.

- "Population change" -

Former normalien converted into permaculture, Gilles Robert, 47, comes to listen to what Mr. Bardella will say about ecology.

He comes from the left and joined the RN by reading the far-right essayist Alain Soral - who declared that "Marx would have voted Le Pen" and left the party in 2009 - even if he finds him "monomaniac on anti-Semitism ".

Nadejda Remy, translator of Russian origin and former candidate for Debout la France in the Val d'Oise, especially came to support Marine Le Pen in the face of Emmanuel Macron to "get the country out of the deadlock": "The regional ones are is like a little rehearsal of the presidential election.

Cap "Trump 2024" screwed on the head, Confederate flag sewn on his jacket, Philippe Steens kisses his "friend", Marie-Caroline Le Pen, eldest daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen and candidate for regional in Ile-de-France.

He denounces the too weak sentences for "mortar fire against the police", and does not want "the change of population" because "we lose all our values ​​and our culture".

A soldier who wants to remain anonymous thinks that it is "time to take things in hand", welcoming the recent controversial forum of soldiers alerting to the risk of a "civil war" in France.

On the dais, while at the same time the left and associations demonstrated in several cities against the extreme right, Jordan Bardella denounces "the rise of barbarism" and considers "unbearable to hear President Macron speak of + sentiment + of insecurity ", under the boos of the militants.

They also whistle copiously the ministers Gérald Darmanin and Eric Dupond-Moretti.

"They have nothing in their pants," shouts a participant in the crowd of nearly 500 people.

"We can be beaten up (...) because we are a little too French", protests Mr. Bardella, who wants "to relocate at home" delinquents in an irregular situation.

"We are at home," chanted the activists, waving small French flags.
