Operation seduction
By speaking at the podium, Édouard Philippe plays seduction with the Mayenne people. “I almost lived in Mayenne, in Laval”confides the former Prime Minister in front of the public but it did not finally happen, “You might have lost against me in the legislative elections”laughs Yannick Favennec. “You have, with Yannick, an experienced and rooted MP”describes Édouard Philippe, insisting on proximity and presence of the outgoing UDI MP on the ground in his constituency. “He has the perfect profile to count in the majority”adds the former Prime Minister, “he knows the National Assembly perfectly and you know it matters to know it because these are complex processes so it is extremely valuable”.
“An important step in the campaign”
“Tonight is an important step in the campaign”claims Yannick Favennec microphone in hand, because less than 10 days before the first round of the legislative electionsthere are only 17 public meetings left on the program of the outgoing MP who had planned 99 meeting points throughout the constituency. “I have the niaque, the energy, the desire and until June 10 in the evening, I will campaign commune by commune and I will go to see each and every one of the inhabitants of my constituency”, adds the outgoing MP. He also repeated in front of Édouard Philippe that he would be “proud to join the Horizons group at the National Assembly” if elected.
