Europeans: the crisis provides arguments for “small lists” labeled rurality. In France as throughout Europe, the discontent of farmers, massively supported by public opinion, is now seen as fertile electoral ground.

The double presidential candidate, who is considering leading a list for next June's election, is hardly surprised by this question. "The people I met have their heads for everything, except for the Europeans, and of all way, given the abstention rate ( 49.88% in 2019), this is not surprising,” he confides.
