Marine Le Pen is back in politics. The president of the National Rally party is at the fair in Châlons-en-Champagne this Friday, September 7, 2018. And in the ranks of the far-right party, we can not hide it: we had easier vacation returns. . In question: the financial difficulties of the former FN.

With our special correspondent in Châlons-en-Champagne, Anne Soetemondt

In July, the French justice has suspended the public aid of the French State of 2 million euros to the National Rally. A measure taken in the framework of the investigation into the allegedly fictitious uses of the party in the European Parliament.

Silent for more than a month, it is a determined Marine Le Pen who nevertheless arrived this Friday in Châlons-en-Champagne . Determined to lead the fight against the government, and against the judges.

" We are closing a whole series of permanences "

The non-payment of the public aid is a threat for the RN , assures the president of the movement, which half-heartedly confirms a social plan in case the decision on appeal scheduled on September 26th would not be favorable:

" I hope we will win because we can not function properly. We close a whole series of permanences because we do not have the means to make the movement work anymore. So, there are already consequences to this decision, which are irreversible consequences, and again very serious, and very serious. "

A simple speech in Frejus this year for Le Pen

Pampered at eight months of the European elections, Marine Le Pen recognizes it bluntly: the campaign will be difficult to lead. The RN forced to tighten his belt? What worrying activists come to meet the president.

" We will be limited in our actions, for poster campaigns, for campaigns of" boxing ", information ... Of course we will be limited ", concedes Marc, an RN chip in Epinay , came to meet the president.

Symbol of these financial difficulties of the former National Front: next weekend, Marine Le Pen will not chair the traditional summer schools of its political party. She will content herself with delivering a speech to Fréjus.
