Taking part in during the presidential campaign, Penelope Fillon has lived very badly the last months before the election of Emmanuel Macron. However, contrary to what was advanced her husband to the antenna of France 2, the mother of the family has never had the desire to put an end to his days.

Is my husband like?” inquired then Penelope Fillon, obviously not to the fact of the noise that short.
