the MP for Paris and Delegate General of La République en Marche Stanislas Guerini was the guest of “8:30 am franceinfo” Monday February 21, 2022. He answered questions from Lorrain Sénéchal and Neïla Latrous.
Presidential election: “Everything is ready” for Emmanuel Macron’s campaign
“Everything is ready” for the entry into the campaign of Emmanuel Macron, assured Stanislas Guerini. According to information from franceinfo, the President of the Republic will not declare himself a presidential candidate before the week of February 28. “That Will” to run for a second term “is obvious on his part”underlined the one who is also a deputy for Paris, but “campaign today”in view of the protracted Ukrainian crisis, “is actually much more difficult”.
“For months we have been in the field, and in a way, I feel in the countryside”continued Stanislas Guerini. “We did it to promote our record, we did it to listen to the French too”he insisted. “This election must be that of the project”asked the one who laments “a campaign that looks in the rear view mirror”. “Today, we have to look ahead, I think that the President of the Republic, basically, has France ahead of its competitors”he launched.
Candidates still seeking sponsorship
“We obviously have to make this appeal to the mayors to be able to sponsor all the candidates, even those whose ideas they do not share”, estimated Stanislas Guerini, while some candidates are struggling to gather the 500 signatures essential to be able to run for the Elysée. On Sunday, the mayor of Les Républicains de Nice, David Lisnard, indicated that he was giving his sponsorship to the candidate of La France insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and called “all elected officials who can sponsor” at “ensure that all representative candidates can compete”.
“As we speak, it would be a problem if a certain number of political figures who represent something in the currents of opinion, who are more than 10% in the voting intentions” were “prevented”, he admitted. The president of the Modem, François Bayrou, a figure of the presidential majority, has launched a site offering mayors the opportunity to sponsor candidates for the presidential election, provided that they “reach 10% in the polls”.
