Security company wears safety jackets to protect candidates

  For several months now, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen have not been their own. In addition to their political right arms, the finalists of the presidential election are, as were their opponents eliminated until the first round, under the protection of several officers of the SDLP, the protection service: On 23 April, a few more since the contenders at the Elyse Palace are no more than two.
