LR-RN Lives - Critical Audio Issues

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 22:51:49 GMT

Apologies in advance for the abysmal audio quality in here. It gets very bad at one point in particular and will be a trial which only the real fans can sit through. The audio quality issues here are due to being in transit and trouble with a microphone, and don't reflect the high standards the program normally reaches.

A report in Le Parisien reveals that the LR-RN alliance isn't dead just yet, the Left Alliance presents a program, and votes for LFI in some overseas constituencies were huge.
