Emmanuel Macron, an outgoing president campaigning

“The president will always have priority over the candidate, that, Emmanuel Macron’s entourage fully assumes it. Obviously, with the international situation, it will be a very special campaign for him: a few trips, few meetings and probably no large gatherings with 15,000 fans waving flags. ‘It would be inappropriate’, said to me [dans la matinée du vendredi 4 mars] a member of La République En Marche”reports the journalist of 12/13 Guillaume Daretlive from the Élysée Palace (Paris).

“‘He will be a candidate when he can and when time permits,’ adds one of his advisers. It is also a political argument to enhance its presidential status to the end, which is a considerable advantage over its competitors”, concludes the journalist.
