The National Rally candidate for the presidential election, Marine Le Pen, “don’t close the door” to a debate before the first round with Emmanuel Macron, or failing that with his Prime Minister, Jean Castex, learned franceinfo from his entourage, confirming information from the Parisian/Today in France. Emmanuel Macron, president-candidate, has already announced that he will not participate in any debate before the first round of the election, on April 10.
On the other hand, Marine Le Pen does not wish to debate by the first round either with Éric Zemmour (Reconquest!), nor with Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France insoumise), nor with Valérie Pécresse (Les Républicains). Unlike her, these three candidates are not given a situation to qualify for the second round, in an Ipsos Sopra Steria poll for franceinfo and Le Parisien/Today in Francereleased on Saturday.
“When we shy away from the debate, it’s probably that we’re afraid, I’m not afraid of the debate, I showed it last week against Éric Zemmour”, reacted Valérie Pécresse, on the sidelines of the presentation of her presidential program, Monday, March 14 in Paris. The entourage of the LR presidential candidate indicates that he had concluded a pre-agreement with the camp of the RN candidate for a televised debate to take place between them. The same source indicates that she had proposed the date of March 27.
