It’s a place that officially does not exist. While the national gathering (RN) has just set up its boxes in its new QG, Michel-Ange Street, in the 16 e borough, where a floor welcomes the campaign offices, Marine Le Pen is laid out another space in the biggest secret. Only a dozen relatives are in the confidence. The candidate for the Elysée has a Haussmannian apartment of about 120 m 2 rue de Belgrade, in the 7 e Arrondissement de Paris, between the field-of- -Mars and invalids. “The reserved area of ​​the president”, murmurs a member RN.

This is where, since June, the restricted campaign team has been around the director and former prefect Christophe Bay. There are sometimes members of “horacious”, this group of technical advisers of the shadow sorted on the component. “Everything is settled, it’s a rental,” says MEP Jean-Paul Garraud, at the head of the Electoral Funding Association. As such, it should appear on campaign accounts. “This expense exists and will be registered, confirms the former treasurer Wallerand of Saint Just. We are not going to risk mortal sin.”

This unofficial footing is designed as a tranquility bubble, intended to place Marine Le Pen away from looks and solicitations. It receives it with discretion. “When you are in your third campaign, which you have been betrayed as it has been, you choose the height and detachment”, theorized Bruno Bilde, MP RN du Pas-de-Calais, early September. The supreme aspirant conceived his marathon around 2022 as “his” campaign, both freed from the heavers of the device – she entrusted the party to Jordan Bardella – and in connection with the French – she chains the travel of land .

“It’s saves who can!”

Others deplore that the hypercentralization of the RN confines the “confinement” and “denial” against the breakthrough of the French suicide ideologist (Albin Michel, 2014), that Marine Le Pen task to minimize by qualifying it of “foam” media and songer.

But as a burst, the presidential candidate beats the reminder of his party’s political figures. At a meeting of the National Office in the new headquarters on Tuesday, September 28, she pressed executives to defend her in the media. “It’s saved who can!”, Ricks a participant, listing the absent of the TV trays.
