“There is a need, vis-à-vis our competitors, in this case the National Rally, we must be able to silence our differences, they exist, it is not a question of erasing them, we have expressed them during the presidential campaign, but things have to be clear: if we take the results of April 10, the Rassemblement national alone is capable of maintaining itself in 190 constituencies.
