With the "freestyle" that characterizes it, the one who served as number two Patriots announced his departure in a statement released badbadin Thursday. " After leaving the National Front, whose dysfunctional aspect appears every day a little more, I refuse to condone the same drifts within my new formation ", she writes . Namely: "The governance of the Patriots that makes everything is decided at three or four. Perhaps he copied it from the Front entrusted to World this historic Jean-Marie Lepéniste, who spent more than thirty years at the FN. Florian is wrong, he torch and everyone keeps him in his bubble. Such a waste.

In her communique, the elected Franche-Comté manhandled the one she described as "political hope" and for whom she claims to have always "friendship" and "affection" reproaching him for "divine solitude" and taclant his entourage of "courtiers" four names in support – his brother Damien Philippot , his chief of staff Joffrey Bollée, his press secretary Ferial Mostefai and the actor Franck de Lapersonne. During a lunch shared with Florian Philippot on Wednesday, she even claimed to have asked the actor's head: "He told me that he brought more to the Patriots than Sophie Montel" in the third person . Same causes, same effects, continues the MEP: the break … and the hard words.

Since leaving the far-right party, Sophie Montel was not missing an opportunity to belittle the image of Marine Le Pen. In February in Arras (Pas-de-Calais), during the Patriotes' launching congress, she parodyed her former boss under the cheers of the audience, wearing the nickname "Miss May 3" 2017, the date of the disastrous debate between two-towers.

The isolation of Florian Philippot is accentuated with his departure, but had already been heavily sanctioned in the polls in January. In the legislative Belfort, his little party had barely collected 2% of the vote, with yet headlining the candidate Sophie Montel, still she, and then vice president of the movement. The former number two of the FN, who is now struggling to exist, is also isolated on his position in favor of "Frexit". An "obsession" according to the leaders of the now National Assembly, which brought him until divorce – by mutual agreement – with his party of the time.

Evoking "Frexit" "resumption of sovereignty" and "historical continuity of our people" in its communiqué, Sophie Montel does not share again by conviction , but for the "method" Philippot, after denouncing that of the Le Pen clan.

"France does not need a carnival with Franck Lapersonne or Genevieve de Fontenay " adds to World . Reference to a press conference by Florian Philippot with the former Miss France … whose Geneviève de Fontenay had disbadociated herself, baderting "shocked" to be badociated with the extreme right in the media and on social networks for being displayed with the former advisor of Marine Le Pen. "We must prepare a vast coalition" complete Sophie Montel by dissenting. Will she join Marine Le Pen, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan's ally? The president of Debout France claims to have it "never seen" ; it is not "not ready to re-join a party, even in the sovereignist family" .

And M ^me Montel to conclude by a new deceit: "I have other occupations in life than barbecues with Franck Lapersonne. A mandate in the European Parliament and, above all, a book in preparation on Marine Le Pen, to which it can add a chapter.

The Patriots replied in a statement acknowledging his departure. "Not surprisingly, the Patriots have received the resignation of Sophie Montel, who had, it is true, widely disinested lately of the movement and activist activities. " Without emphasis, but with the now-regulatory stunt. Florian Philippot's phone was ringing in the air.
