Dear Marine,
A few hours before the judgment, in this vigil of arms, I wanted to write you these few words.
“Fear is a feeling that is foreign to me,” you said a few days ago when you were being questioned about the upcoming judgment. You thus testified to the tenacity that earns you the respect of your supporters, the persistence of our adversaries, and also the confidence of millions of French people.
Those who hope to eliminate you from the political arena, those who imagine that a conviction would prevent you from continuing to fight for France, are making a bad calculation. I have been one of the privileged witnesses to your solidity in trials, whether they be political or personal. I know, whatever the judges’ decision, nothing will stop you tomorrow simply because we will need you in the difficult years that await us.
No doubt they have forgotten that our family and our struggle were forged over decades of harsh struggles. No, the Le Pen never needed a parliamentary mandate to defend our country and our people.
We are both activists; we both hold convictions, and our hard‑headed Breton women have known disagreements and even shocks. Who better than me to recognize that you managed to turn the National Front from heroic hours into the National Rally, which has imposed itself as the country's leading political force?
Yes, today the national camp is very close to victory—and above all—ready to assume it.
You have brought us together, broadened our reach, and extended a hand, taking the party out of the trap of “one against all.” You have prepared and trained others to take up the torch, with Jordan first in particular.
Marine, whatever the outcome of this judgment, I know we will need you in the coming years as an essential actor in the political struggle. I know that together we will go for victory, and that whatever is decided tomorrow, this upcoming victory will also be yours.
