conservatives, avia better are cemented his status as the center rights best chance of challenging macro and pen in that election. so the message you like to know, i want to speak directly to this front that we refuse to see that we refuse to hear that abstained on these 2 sundays. it's an emotional cry of a france that works every day, but they can no longer make ends meet. it's the cry of a france that is to make bigger effort, but that only receives contempt or indifference to return the cry of a fraud that respects the rule. sees that everywhere the lower trampled with impunity said, okay, here's a bucket with more now from paris. one of the end of this election, france is pretty much divided between the traditional left the socialist from the allies and the traditional right. the conservatives and their supporters very good results for them. indeed, confirming what we saw in the 1st round, the selection very disappointing result. so for the far right leader marine,

the penn national rally party failed to win any regions in the selection she had really been hoping to win the region in the south of france, where i can't say i've been in the league, but in the end he was knocked out by for conservative candidates. she is claiming for facts to turn out was low. she says the selection was not well organized, but they will of course, be question being off within the party as to why they did so badly in my new monochrome, the french president, his policy republic, on the move, also failing to win any regions. they'll also be a very disappointed republican maneuver. the young policy was created by my cross spring board, him for the presidency, but it is failed over the years. the capture him faces imagination to win any wider grass roots support. nevertheless, some are saying that the regional election could be an indication of what is to come next. here we have the presidential election then in 2022 in 2017 mike crow
