Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, she has never hesitated to raise a critical voice. Marine Le Pen again criticized the government for its management of the situation on Monday, accusing it of lying about "absolutely everything, without any exception" about the epidemic, she said on France Info.
The president of the National Rally (RN) criticized a "government strategy" consisting of "hiding the level of weakness of the state, of our stocks, of our country's preparation, rather than telling the truth". The government has continued to lie that it is “about the borders, the unnecessary masks, the tests themselves unnecessary. All this has created a situation of distrust on the part of the population with regard to its leaders ”, she continued.
Sometimes criticized for not respecting national unity, the leader replied that it "cannot be done around lies". "We cannot ask the opposition to support the government's lies and inconsistencies," she insisted.

As the Parisian demonstrated at the end of January and then at the end of February, the Covid-19 was not created and then patented in laboratories. It was false information that had gone viral but had several inconsistencies and shortcuts.
In a press release, Marine Le Pen also indicated that he "asked yesterday (Sunday, note) the Prime Minister" Edouard Philippe for "that he organize a new videoconference with political leaders and especially those of the opposition to give us a update on the health crisis ”. The confinement "must not be that of democracy and despite the crisis, the opposition must be able to continue to play its role," she added.
