"I said that 20% would be a good score, 25% would be a triumph. Because success in a local election where we had no implantation, making the score European, a national election, it is extraordinary. We had 360,000 more votes than the European elections, it is a huge success, "responded Monday morning Marine Le Pen.


The PS and its allies have been eliminated in 524 townships (of 2054). In 256 of them, this elimination is due to the division of the left by the Socialists, who hope to keep the final twenty departments.

And this is the evening of the second round we do the analyzes and addictions, "said Manuel Valls who nevertheless welcomed that" the extreme right, even if it is too high, is not the first political party France ".
