I feel like I’m face to face with my children who are always asking me for one last video game. » But, for the right, the Barnier party seems lost, even if some try to cling to the last branches of hope. “We hope that the RN demonstrates a spirit of responsibility for once, even if this seems very unlikely”admits Corentin Le Fur.
