Thursday April 25, Emmanuel Macron will give a speech on Europe at the Sorbonne University in Paris to try to relaunch Valérie Hayer’s campaign. The head of the Renaissance list in the European elections fails to take off in the polls.
MEP Valérie Hayer, head of the Renaissance list, was not the president’s first choice. But no one within the party wanted to take the risk of a potential setback on June 9, during the European elections. A few weeks before the European vote, Sunday April 21, the presidential party’s campaign is slipping. The majority nervously scrutinizes the polls which find their candidate in trouble.
The Renaissance list followed by Raphaël Glucksmann
The National Rally (RN) is racing in the lead far ahead of Renaissance, closely followed by Raphaël Glucksmann. According to an MP, the party is preparing for a defeat against the far right, and could be overtaken by the list carried by the left. Could presidential intervention turn the tide? In 2019, to save his campaign, Emmanuel Macron went to the front. Last week, he appeared alongside the candidate. Thursday April 25, the president will give a speech on Europe at La Sorbonne (Paris) and should target the RN.
