In a week, his fate will be played: Emmanuel Macron will know next Sunday if he remains at the Elysée for another five years or if he gives way to Marine Le Pen, who came second in the first round. For his last week of campaign, the outgoing president therefore multiplies outings and interviews and was this Sunday, like his competitor, the guest of the magazine seven to eighton TF1.
Every week, in fact, journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara chooses a personality to interview for an uncompromising portrait. This week, it was the two political adversaries who answered each other with cross-questions. If, for example, she asked the candidates what they regretted about this campaign, she also wanted to know what they planned in the event of defeat.
And for the president, the question does not even arise: he does not project himself “in such scenarios“. “Five years ago, when I was in this situation, it was my first candidacy for a mandate, whatever it is”, he explains to the journalist. “I had resigned from the public service to commit myself fully, in all sincerity to our compatriots. So I’m still in the same spirit, that of full commitment“.
For Brigitte Macron’s husband, “the day after will be the day after“.”To fully engage, you don’t have to think about what happens if…, so I don’t have a safety net. I have resigned from the public service, I am fully committedConvinced that he is on the right path, he will therefore continue, whatever happens, to defend his values.
