Marine Le Pen Exorcises Ghosts in the Fiefdom that Gave Birth to her Political Project

Hénin-Beaumont, a town of 26,000 inhabitants, has become a symbol of Marine Le Pen's political project. The town is located near several terrils, mountains of waste from the Pas-de-Calais coal mines, built in the 1960s and 1980s.
