8:11 pm
while fact, the cynical allies that would not last. i think it is a very bad thing for democracy because in fact, they're really cheated the score and this is why i think the so—called front will i— again, because it really turned down a genuine majority, even if it was for the opposition, because i think this is what you want —— what she wants. because le pen wants to present to go. she has a chance to come to go. she has a chance to come to power and of course that depends on the french and not on so—called allies, which are cheating the genuine score. i would like something they have
