The presidential race is accelerating. While President Emmanuel Macron consistently tops the polls, far ahead of Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, many regret the fact that the current President of the Republic does not lend himself to the game of debates.
“The President of the Republic wants to be re-elected without ever having been a real candidate, without a campaign, without a debate, without a confrontation of ideas. All the candidates are debating except him. It’s a paradox! », even declared Gérard Larcher in an interview granted to our colleagues from the Figaro.
The election is not “folded” in advance for Emmanuel Macron
Guest on the set of BFM-TV this Monday, March 21, 2022, Christophe Castaner however explained that the election was not “folded” in advance for Emmanuel Macron. “One thing is certain, it is that this election is not played. No election is ever played. I think that not only would it be a political fault to believe that they are played, but it would also be an ethical fault. Saying to the French ‘move on, there’s nothing to see’ is always a mistake”, declared the president of the LaREM group to the National Assembly.
As a reminder, according to the latest poll conducted by Ipsos-Sopra Steria and published on Friday March 18, Emmanuel Macron tops the voting intentions with a comfortable lead (29%). Behind him, Marine Le Pen stands out with a percentage of 16% against 13% for Éric Zemmour who comes in third position.
