Guest on Face aux Territoires, Dominique de Villepin believes that "the rule of provisional execution must be respected"

It is this provision that could prevent Marine Le Pen from running in the presidential election and has forced the mayors of Toulon, Hubert Falco , and, more recently, of La Seyne-sur-Mer,Nathalie Bicais, to resign their mandates.

"Our rule of law sets a clear rule with the application of provisional execution in certain cases. This is what the judges have decided. This rule must be respected by all," believes Dominique de Villepin.

"When you exercise such a heavy responsibility, you are perhaps more than others obliged to a form of exemplarity. The political class should not be immune from its responsibilities before the Nation," continues the former Prime Minister, the French people's favorite political figure according to an Ifop-Fiducial study for Paris Match and Sud Radio published on May 12.
