The attack is unconventional.
Traveling to Dijon to support the candidate of the presidential majority, Denis Thuriot, head of the list in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, Gérald Darmanin split a sentence, to say the least, unexpected for the attention of the National Gathering, reports the regional daily
Le Bien Public
.
“
There is a will that the National Rally never wins a region.
We can clearly see the satanic mark that would represent a victory for the RN
”, launched the Minister of the Interior, seated with the candidate on the terrace of a cafe.

If a territory is ruled by an extremist party, do you think foreign investors will come more?
No.
They will go to a more acceptable place
, ”continued Gérald Darmanin.
The attack is not innocent, since in this region, the candidate of the National Rally, Julien Odoul, prances ahead of the voting intentions in the first round, with 28%, according to an Ipsos Sopra Steria poll published on June 9 on France 3 Bourgogne-Franche Comté.
Far ahead of LREM candidate Denis Thuriot, in fourth position with 16% of the vote.
"LREM must stop insulting the opposition"
An attack that is not really to the taste of the president of the National Rally. Asked about CNews, Marine Le Pen reacted strongly to these accusations of "
Satanism
". "
LREM must keep calm and stop insulting the opposition, because that poses a democratic problem
," she replied.
According to her, "
the government does not realize that with such violent statements against the opposition, it is participating in the climate of hatred, brutality and violence
". She also reminds ministers that "
we measure a democracy by the way the executive and the government treat the opposition
." A treatment which according to her is far from respectful. And to conclude: "
Since the start of this campaign
(the regional elections, Editor's note)
, ministers (are) called upon to drive out the National Rally, to bring down the enemy that is Marine Le Pen
".
