Marine Le Pen exorciza fantasmas en el feudo que alumbró su proyecto político
La líder ultraderechista invoca la “prioridad nacional” para los franceses en su primer gran discurso del curso. Promete solucionar la crisis de la vivienda, pero evita alusiones a su condena y a la UE
In the final stretch of A21 road, a few kilometers away from Hénin-Beaumont, stands several imposing mounds, mountains reaching up to 132 meters high, formed from the waste of coal mines in the Pas-de-Calais. These were constructed in the sixties, amidst the industrial boom in northern France. However, they were dismantled at the end of the eighties, with the decline of a region governed with an iron hand by the left and the emergence of an unstoppable political project that, still under the guidance of antisemite Jean-Marie Le Pen, would attract former working-class voters towards the far-right.
Since then, every year, Hénin-Beaumont (26,000 inhabitants) has become a symbol of Marine Le Pen's political project. On Sunday, she declared at a venue of around 3,000 people eagerly waiting to hear her first political speech of the year, "The French will have priority in their own home."
