The presidential elections are fast approaching and for this, the candidates’ campaign is starting little by little. It is rare that one of these appearances go unnoticed, whether for the words or the excesses caused on the sets. This Tuesday, February 15, 2022, this was the case with Valérie Pécresse.
Invited on the set of Anne-Sophie Lapix for the show 8:22 p.m., Valérie Pécresse had the opportunity to discuss her European policy and Turkey’s membership, as Anne-Sophie Lapix pointed out. But this remark displeased the candidate. Faced with the reaction of the latter, the journalist then let go: “Your program looks very progressive tonight. Yet all I said was in your program. There is a famous measure which makes it possible to finance the countries which want to join the European Union and that is what you are talking about, that is what you were saying. I’m not saying anything! I read it in your programme”.
From there, Valérie Pécresse then retorted in the following way: “Madame, I’m not saying that you’re saying nonsense, but you’re mixing up two propositions.“. Visibly annoyed, Anne-Sophie Lapix then chained her up swinging: “So there is a part of the program that has been erased“. At least, it’s said!
These last few days have been complicated for the president of the Île-de-France region. Although she was elected in the Republican primary with almost 61% of the vote, Valérie Pécresse seems to be experiencing a relaxation in her first supporters when she gave her first meeting on February 13 at the Zenith in Paris. That said, the candidate does not give up as she said at RTL saying: “The room was incandescent, it was hard to take and (…) if you want speakers, there are plenty of them in the countryside, I am a doer“. In addition, she clarified that she was “more comfortable in direct dialogue with the French, perhaps more comfortable on this set with you. A candidate had trouble holding rallies at the start of his political career, his name was Emmanuel Macron“. It remains to be seen whether she will experience the same rise as him.
