Asked to react, Marine Le Pen especially denounced the political bias of the show and believes that saying "goes to the niche" is not a racist statement.

Candidate of the National Rally in Pas-de-Calais, Marine Le Pen, campaigning for the legislative elections, was invited to react to a sequence of Special Envoy, broadcast this Thursday, June 20, which made a huge impact react.

We see a caregiver, of Congolese origin, denouncing the racism of which she is a regular victim, when a woman insults her under the eye of the camera, saying words such as "Go to the doghouse", "we're at home& ;quot; or "I left public housing because of people like you".

"I can say that about my friends"

In la Voix du Nord,the president of the National Rally wonders. "The question is whether fits your niche is not a popular expression of people who hate each other", she told our colleagues. "Is that racist ? I myself can say that about my friends! It's you who draws the conclusion that it's racist because of the victim's skin color. That’s scandalous", she comments.

For Marine Le Pen, the show is politically oriented and ignores the "Pan-African supremacist beliefs" of the caregiver and absolves itself of any responsibility regarding the comments made by the couple. For her, "this story is oriented to make people believe that the coming to power of the National Rally would spontaneously give rise to racist behavior".

After the broadcast of this sequence, viewed millions of times on the networks, the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, requested a report on Saturday with a view to obtaining the   ;quot;suspension" of an official from the Montargis court, where the sequence filmed by the television crew takes place.
