A Muslim prayer at the opening of a meeting of
Marine Le Pen
, Saturday, December 18: you have to be in Mayotte to see it.
Here, the RN candidate even earned a new name.
“
We have become accustomed to affectionately calling her Auntie Mariama.
"
In front of 300 people, under a blazing sun, "Auntie Mariama" alias Marine Le Pen repeats her love for Mayotte.
An abandoned land, insists the candidate: “
You have been the victims, for years, of a culpable inaction, which has deprived you of security and tranquility.
Fed up, that's enough, bassi ivo [that's enough in Mahorais]!
"
🇾🇹 I am not afraid to make the link between insecurity and immigration: in #Mayotte even more than elsewhere, crime and delinquency are first and foremost linked to the SUBMERSION of illegal immigration!

Beautiful postcard
Its main and unique target: the current President of the Republic.
"
What did Emmanuel Macron do to finally show firmness towards the Comoros?"
Nothing !
», She proclaimed.
End of land rights, expulsion of illegal
immigrants
, the line is clear:
stop immigration
.
Precisely what these Mahorais expect: "
She will be a good president compared to Macron,"
said an enthusiastic woman.
We're going to trust him because everyone else didn't do anything.
"
Mayotte, fertile ground for Marine Le Pen's radical program.
A beautiful postcard before the Christmas break.
