Just over fifteen days before the first round of the presidential election, the candidate LRValérie Pécresse, is experiencing a complicated end to the campaign. Down in the polls, she tested positive in the VSvid-19 and had to cancel several trips.

Positive for Covid-19, candidate LR Valérie Pécresse cannot be physically present in Bordeaux (Gironde) this evening, Friday March 25. “She is not there, but in heart and spirit, she is there”, argues an activist. Valérie Pécresse still recorded a video to her supporters, who do not blame her. However, the candidate is struggling to regain momentum. In the polls, it fell from 15.5% to 10.5%. “I trust her and we believe in her”still hopes one of his supporters.

Her campaign manager therefore replaces her in Bordeaux. He intends to target the president-candidate. “We have a gap that separates us from Emmanuel Macron on matters of authority, therefore on strong France, and moreover, we can feel the French people’s concern about their purchasing power rising”, he explains. Valérie Pécresse therefore does everything not to stop her campaign, even if it means doing it remotely. For example, on Thursday March 24, she was in videoconference on France 2 to participate in the program “Elysée 2022”.
