A second round which will cost Florian Philippot dearly. According to information from Le Parisien, the vehicle of the president of the Patriots was checked at a speed of between 170 and 180 km / h, while he was going to his polling station.
Around 11 a.m. this Sunday, Marine Le Pen’s former right-hand man went to Forbach (Moselle), driven by another person. The vehicle was subject to an automatic speed control on the A4 motorway and was flashed well beyond the authorized speed limit (130 km/h). The car was immediately detained. The driver and Florian Philippot were stuck there for a moment waiting for a new driver, at the Vrigny rest area (Marne).
A misadventure that the candidate for the legislative elections confirmed to our colleagues from Parisian. He clarified that it was a friend of his who was driving and assures that he did not know that “his friend” was driving so fast because he himself was sleeping. “It’s not right,” he admitted. According to him, the politician would have been blocked ten minutes before the gendarmes accompanied him to the nearest station, he himself not having the permit.
“Nothing can prevent me from going to vote against Macron”, he told the Parisian. Indeed, Florian Philippot ended up putting his ballot in the ballot box at the start of the afternoon.
