Another planned rally, without “rebellious”

“Why did we do the NFP?” Because the danger of seeing Jordan Bardella arrive [président du Rassemblement national] in Matignon was imminent. Who can sincerely think that we would have, in 2025, in 2026 and 2027, more the luxury of the division than in 2024? »»still argues Marine Tondelier. also pleading for large gatherings in the event of anticipated partial legislative elections and for the municipal elections of 2026.
