Last December, Vincent, 25, told me that he did not yet know who to vote for in the presidential election and defended a real consideration of the blank vote. Today, two days before the first round, Vincent made the choice to vote for a candidate, after having read the programs for a long time.
This employed in IT.says that his choice crystallized a short time ago. “I made a choice. It was done quite late because it was not easy to find your way around the countryside. It has not necessarily started, I have the impression. It happened quickly, a lot of things happened like the war in Ukraine…“
To make his choice, Vincent first started by making “a first sorting“among the various candidates for the presidential election.”I read the programs a lot. It’s interesting to read them to see how they are constructed.“He was particularly convinced by the programs with the highest figures.
I wondered which candidate really came close to my values.
The other element that allowed Vincent to steer his choice is the internet: “There is Hugo Décrypte’s channel, which has done long interviews with the candidates“.
Vincent’s choice of vote in the first round of voting was also influenced by events outside the campaign. “The war in Ukraine inevitably played a role. I’ve heard people who were impressed with the president’s posture, but it’s unclear how others would have reacted“, explains Vincent who sees a certain inequality in it.
According to him, it is important to make a choice even if the candidate does not fully meet our expectations, “Even if you don’t like a candidate 100%, you can still find ideas that are interesting and that you want to push.“
Finally, without surprise, Vincent says he is not satisfied with the campaign that has taken place: “It should have happened differently with more dialogue, more debate and more time to discuss. I find it a pity that there were not these moments of exchange “he concludes.
