Arriving to the applause of the public, Marine Brenier made rather classic vows. But what stood out were her supporters chanting: “Marine! Marine!” A name that inevitably reminds everyone of someone else.
There is Le Pen, the blonde, often described as cold and almost fifty, from the far-right. And then there’s Brenier, the brunette barely in her thirties, climbing the political ladder at a lightning pace, always with a smile.
Through a relatively long speech, Christian Estrosi—a sort of political mentor to Marine Brenier—praised the young politician’s trajectory. A young woman in her thirties, having passed through the ranks of the RPR and UMP, youngest deputy mayor, youngest councilor, Member of Parliament at 29. “Be proud of your deputy, Marine has succeeded in bringing people together.” Another round of “Marine! Marine!” from the audience, this time with a touch of humor from the politician. “I must admit I prefer this one!”
Marine 2.0
Thus, classic in the text. Appreciations, without omission. Wishes for success after a difficult year and inevitably looking toward 2017, a presidential year. Wishes as normal as can be. But Marine Brenier innovates. The communication of politicians is a mandatory element and she understands it well. Live streaming of her vows via Facebook, the possibility to watch a video summary of her political activity, photos of course, everything is done to display to as many people as possible the image of a Marine, the one named Brenier.
