These remarks are creating a huge controversy, especially on social networks. The candidate of the National Rally of the 1st constituency of Mayenne, Paule Veyre de Soras, qualified for the second round on Sunday evening. In a local media outlet, this far-right woman, aged 50, made a big slip-up.
The scene takes place in the gardens of the Mayenne prefecture. Paule Veyre de Soras is invited to comment on the results of the first round by a journalist from Glob-Journal, dealing with local politics. The discreet, even silent candidate of the National Rally is not at ease and announces her colours.I am not used to speaking in front of cameras and I apologize to those who see and listen to me.“.
To the journalist’s question: is the RN a xenophobic and racist party? Paul Veyre de Soras answers in the negative and justifies himself in a stunning manner. “In the National Rally, we have Jews, Muslims, Spaniards (…) I have a Jew as an ophthalmologist. And I have a Muslim as a dentist.“.
This RN candidate obtained more than 14,000 votes in the first round. She will face Guillaume Garot, outgoing deputy of the left.
