The atmosphere at the Acropolis resembled that of a sports stadium. The audience was fired up, and the partisan atmosphere confirmed the effective approach of the presidential campaign of the FN candidate. Her father (present and cheered) remains the idol of the frontists, but the daughter has taken up the mantle and gives the impression of being a very good student!
Her stance and speech are those of a well-schooled actress, the topics are well-known, but the audience expected nothing else: Marine Le Pen’s campaign is aggressive, necessarily combative, focused on accusing and denigrating her opponents rather than offering practical solutions…
For example, it’s known that the economy is not her strong suit, and it shows.
Acropolis was practically full for this meeting of Marine Le Pen with an electorate devoted to her cause: Fighting against immigration, implementing a whole array of security measures, advocating national sentiment against globalization and Europe.
The agenda remains the same, but then again, why change when the clientele keeps asking for more?
So, no to the incumbent president and his disastrous record (“the French don’t want him anymore”), the same fate for the socialist challenger and his insignificant measures (“the French don’t want them”).
Finally, Marine Le Pen calls for a vote for the “Nation” she wants to consecrate, for the working classes she opposes to the elites, for the FN against the UMPS!
Striking proposals, but it’s clear that her strategy is to disrupt the status quo and position herself to “scoop up” the UMP or what’s left of it in case of Nicolas Sarkozy’s defeat.
In this scenario, one can already envision a number of outgoing majority deputies enlisting in her dance card to secure election in the legislative elections.
Marine, she is of an age that allows her to see far ahead. With the stated ambition to be the one to deal the cards in the conservative field.
Response soon at the polls.
