The 2022 presidential election also plays on the rejection of the two candidates. Emmanuel Macron calls for blocking the far right, while Marine Le Pen wants to make this second round a kind of referendum for or against the outgoing president.

At 48 hours from the second round of the presidential election, Friday, April 22, many voters have made their choice. But the motivations for their vote are quite diverse. In the streets of Lille (Nord), there are those who will vote by membership for a program. On the other hand, others will vote by default and block. A strategy that the candidates understood well. On the one hand, Marine Le Pen, Thursday, April 21 in Arras (Pas-de-Calais), summed up Sunday’s ballot: it will be a referendum for or against her opponent.

“To block, we do not abstain, we vote, and we vote for the only front that is republican, the anti-Macron front”, said the candidate of the National Rally. Emmanuel Macron prefers to oppose the programs, in particular on ecology. Thursday evening, on France 2, his message was clear : Sunday, it will be him or the climatic chaos. “Madame Le Pen leaves the European climate objective and her priority is to dismantle the wind turbines”, castigated the president-candidate. For his voters, it is above all against the far right that they will vote on Sunday, by slipping an Emmanuel Macron ballot into the ballot box.
