00:00here at the France Unbowed party headquarters. After that bombshell snap
00:05election, well it can only be described in the beginning as shock and surprise
00:08but it quickly evolved into what I can only call defiance. Since then we heard
00:14from Jean-Luc Melenchon who said that that move by the president wasn't just a
00:19political significance but it also has cultural, philosophical and moral
00:24significance as well. In his view President Macron made that move as he
00:29had what he calls no more legitimacy and he had to continue in his words what he
00:34said political and social mistreatment by the president. So what is the next
00:39step for the hard-left party France Unbowed? The party leader Manon Aubry she
00:45just gave a very impassioned speech outside to the scores of supporters who
00:49have just turned out to support the party and they're still here chanting
00:53and singing but she answered that question she said we're not scared of
00:58this snap election we are enthusiastic she feels the party has continued to
01:01make progress and hopes that that will continue in an upward trajectory even
01:06further and all eyes are now on what needs to be done for that campaign but
01:11in terms of Europe they are very content with those projected results there but
01:16overall defiance, confidence those are the undercurrents here at the party
01:20in terms of that snap election and now all efforts and all eyes are really
01:24looking forward to the preparation for the campaign.
