Emmanuel Macron must be held accountable”adds the candidate Les Républicains.
Geoffroy Didier, MEP Les Républicains and director of communication for the campaign of Valérie Pécresse, indicates Thursday evening on franceinfo to wait “a debate project against project, vision against vision”. “In a democracy, there should be no automatic renewal.

Turning the page, allowing the French to reconnect with happy days, that’s my ambition.
