Today is April 21. In France, a date synonymous with the accession to the second round of the presidential election of a far-right candidate. It was for the first time, 20 years ago: Jean-Marie Le Pen facing Jacques Chirac. From the announcement of this poster, spontaneous demonstrations throughout France, headlines in the press the next day, most political parties in unison to stand up, to block the FN, to create a republican front.
20 years later, Marine Le Pen is for the second time in the decisive round of the presidential election. Is the Republican front still relevant? Or did it crack?
