In a supercharged Zénith de Toulon, Marion Maréchal took the stage.
"What a pleasure Éric, after five long years of absence in politics, to come back to support your candidacy for the presidential election", launched the young woman.
"Thanks to Marion, I always had the intuition that one day we were going to fight together for France," replied the Reconquest candidate.
