To launch his campaign, the President of the Republic chose Marseille, a city that is dear to him. He will also organize a meeting in Paris and another in the West of France.
Information that has not gone unnoticed. Emmanuel Macron will hold his first meeting in Marseille on March 5. “The information should have remained secret but it leaked. Which would not have pleased the Head of State at all. According to several concordant sources at LREM, he would have chosen the Chanot park in Marseille”explains Caroline Motte, journalist in the political service of franceinfo.
“We know the attachment of the President of the Republic to Marseille, his attachment to OM. So he wants to start with a city to which he is attached”reacted Eric Diard, LR deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône. “It’s a sign that shows that Marseille matters to France and to the French”to which she indicated Alexandra Louis, MP Bouches-du-Rhône LREM.
A choice that owes nothing to chance according to Caroline Motte: “Marseille is a city very courted by candidates. It’s a kind of laboratory which concentrates a little all the difficulties that the country is going through in terms of education, security, public health. Finally, Marseille refers to the symbol of a cosmopolitan city facing outwards”. Emmanuel Macron will hold two other meetings: one in Paris and one in the West of France.
