After 15 days of absence, she went to a flea market, chained the handshakes, the selfies.

Sometimes there were exchanges with young inhabitants.

"All my parents and my big brother voted for you", "Well you will kiss them for me", replies Marine Le Pen.

"And you tell them that in four weeks, they start again for the legislative elections". 

"Congratulations on your speech. In 5 years, it will be you" 

Because we must fight the policy of Emmanuel Macron affirms the one who is the deputy of the 11th district of Pas-de-Calais.

"It's shameful that you didn't go elsewhere," reply some residents.

"Mélenchon: you don't change the spots of a leopard"

Marine adds that the candidate of rebellious France got Macron elected.
