While the National Rally came out on top in the first round of the legislative elections, Louis Aliot was on the set of C à vous this Monday, July 1. And the tone quickly rose between the vice-president of the RN and Patrick Cohen at the mention of legal convictions.
Louis Aliot was the guest of C à vous on France 5 this Monday July 1st.
In the midst of the legislative campaign, the vice-president of the National Rally defended the RN against Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine’s columnists.
