Five days before the second round of the legislative elections in France on July 7, several candidates of the National Rally (RN) are still making headlines because of their profile, their actions or their past. After the remarks deemed anti-Semitic by one of its candidates invested in Morbihan, made before the first round, a candidate in Normandy announced on Tuesday July 2 that she was withdrawing from the race.
