Marine Le Pen also spoke about how she learned of the death of her father, upon her return from Mayotte. Then on a stopover in Nairobi, while journalists were talking about his death, the head of the RN deputies in the National Assembly would have called his sister. “She was the one who taught it to me,” she said.

Jean-Marie Le Pen was a “historical figure of the extreme right” whose “role in the public life of our country for nearly seventy years […] is now a matter for the judgment of History,” declared the Élysée. “If it was a dig, I can assure you that the “judgment of history” will be much more severe for Emmanuel Macron than for Jean-Marie Le Pen,” retorted Marine Le Pen.

Marine Le Pen also spoke about the situation in Mayotte, devastated a few weeks ago by Cyclone Chido. According to her, the “situation deserves to be defended, without anything relegating it to second place”. Deploring a “purely official” approach on the part of the government of François Bayrou and Emmanuel Macron during their visit to the archipelago, the head of the RN deputies, who also went there, mentioned a situation “catastrophic”. For her, “the reality on the ground is clear: it in no way corresponds to the official discourse”.
Marine Le Pen thus called for “recognizing the reality of illegal immigration”. According to her, “the migration aspect” “conditions everything else” and “insecurity will prevent any development, whatever it may be”. “Leaving Mayotte in its current situation is simply unacceptable,” she insisted.
