The activists quickly received the support of several RN officials, Philippe Olivier, Gilbert Collard, Marie-Caroline Le Pen, Franck Allisio and Jordan Bardella in the lead. The latter, candidate in Île-de-France, challenged the Prime Minister by asking: "
Should we wait for a tragedy before Jean Castex asks for restraint from his ministers?"
", An allusion to recent campaign statements by some members of the government, such as Olivia Grégoire, Secretary of State for the Social Economy, united and responsible, who designated the RN as"
enemy to be slaughtered
", or the Keeper of the Seals Eric Dupond-Moretti, who had announced that he was a candidate to “
