On his right, Xavier Bertrand y “Think ten times a day”. On his left, Arnaud Montebourg “Go there to win”. On the far right, Marine Le Pen imagines finally entering the Elysee Palace, while on the left of the left, the leader of La France rebellious, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, still dreams of creating a “Popular momentum”.
