Emmanuel Macron will he be a candidate for the presidential election, while he will speak Wednesday, December 15 on TF1 and LCI to answer “to the questions that the French are asking themselves” and develop its “vision of the future” ? “The question is whether” the president of the Republic “will give an election campaign speech without having officially announced his candidacy for the presidential election” 2022, said on Tuesday the spokesperson for La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard, who urged the head of state to declare himself a candidate “rather than campaigning at the expense of the state”.

The former campaign manager of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the 2014 European elections, however, believed that Emmanuel Macron “was entitled” to wait before declaring himself a candidate for his own succession, but that he was not authorized “to establish in the presidential campaign different rules depending on the other candidates and who is President of the Republic”.
