Emmanuel Macron, the ecological shift before the second round

“After boasting a few days ago the advantages of nuclear power, which he will make one of the priorities if he is re-elected, Emmanuel Macron rediscovers himself as an environmentalist”analyzes the journalist Jean-Christophe Galeazzi, Saturday April 16. “It’s surprising after a lightning campaign in the first round where he clearly positioned himself on the right, in particular with his pension reform”explains the journalist.

Emmanuel Macron (La République en Marche) is trying to seduce young voters, who voted more for Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France insoumise) and Marine Le Pen (National Rally) in the first round. “The president-candidate has understood this well and he also knows that it is difficult to mobilize young people. The climate issue is a subject that has been mobilizing them for several years now”recalls Jean-Christophe Galeazzi.
