“I came to see if she had the charisma of a president.“Philippe summed up the feeling of several activists present this Saturday evening at Metz Expo. This Mosellan was disappointed with the meeting last month by Valérie Pécresse at the Zénith de Paris, then in the middle of the race for the Elysée. “If she finds herself facing Putin, she must be able to win“, he continues. Result: in the aisles of the auditorium, a slight feeling of mistrust was heard, even if Anne prefers to keep “the positive attitude“.
Don’t watch the polls
Since this famous meeting, the candidate LR has fallen somewhat in the polls. This Saturday, she was placed in 4th position by one of them, with 11.5% of the vote in the 1st round on April 10. It is behind Emmanuel Macron who passes the 30%, behind Marine Le Pen (14.5%) and behind Eric Zemmour (13%). “But the polls change every week“, prefers to retain Julien, a young Republican from the Marne.
For almost an hour, Valérie Pécresse therefore detailed her program: whether it is safe with the increase in resources allocated to the army, family with allowances paid from the first child, or ecological thanks to the creation of a timber fund of 150 million euros. And this speech seems to have given wings to Christiane. “You always have to believe in it, otherwise you’re not going anywhere. Everything is still possible“, she concludes.
