time up for the press here but as you can see most of the party goers have
00:04
already left the scene behind me it's pretty empty there are still some people
00:09
across at the bar I should add but they're asking us to wrap up and and I
00:14
don't think this is going to continue late into the night because this has
00:18
been a disappointing evening for them no matter how they try and dress it up we
00:23
should add that Marine Le Pen has came in very quickly to the room to great
00:28
cheers of support from her party members and but to the press she had to answer
00:34
questions about how disappointed she was and she said that she wasn't
00:38
disappointed because the RN had managed to increase its number of MPs in the
00:45
French Parliament according to these exit polls and but she was very much
00:48
trying to see the bright side of things there asked repeatedly whether she would
00:53
be president in 2027 she didn't answer directly but she insisted we will
00:58
continue and she called this alliance of the center and the left she called it
01:04
completely incoherent and predicted it would collapse very quickly so there was
01:09
a certain amount of bitterness in her speech similar to the business we saw
01:13
from Jordan Bardella and among the supporters here shock surprise
01:18
disappointment and anger that they feel that the will of the French people
01:22
according to them has been blocked by this alliance and they say that line
01:26
simply can't hold. Ana Navarro-Pedro made a good point Catherine a moment ago and so did Pierre-Jérôme Anan talking about how they felt the
01:36
national rally had the right or Jordan Bardella said they felt they were
01:39
beaten by the system and actually with that that could actually bring out a
01:42
momentum of I've got a victim mentality to which other people you know they can
01:47
play on that do you get that sense within the room that could be a
01:50
strategy absolutely I think that's already emerging as a strategy from
01:57
what party leaders and from what people here in the room have been telling me
02:01
they say they've been victims of the political system of the political elite
02:05
so it plays right into their hands they say that no matter how much public
02:09
support they have and they did have the votes of millions of French people that
02:13
they are being beaten by parties coming together in behind closed doors and the
02:18
corridors of power and making deals and they say that the French people won't
02:22
put up with that so you can see this attack line that's going to be coming
02:25
out it is already coming out but expect to hear a lot more of that
