Sunday, April 10 was the first round of presidential elections. Millions of French people were therefore at the polls to vote among the 12 candidates in the running. It was finally Emmanuel Macron and Marine le Pen who qualified for the second round. An air of deja vu since in 2017, the two candidates were opposed and it was the husband of Brigitte Macron who had triumphed. Behind them, we find Jean-Luc Mélenchon, not far from the second round, or Éric Zemmour. Valérie Pécresse obtained only 4.8% of the votes allowing her to be reimbursed by the National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Funding (CNCCFP) only up to 4.75% of the spending ceiling for the first round, i.e. the equivalent of 800,000 euros. Candidates exceeding 5% can obtain a reimbursement of 47.5% of the first round expenditure ceiling, i.e. up to 8 million euros.
“It is the crisis”
This Monday, April 11, the candidate The Republicans launched an appeal for donations, to obtain “help, emergency” in order to “close the financing” of his campaign. “We did not reach the 5% of votes that would allow us to obtain the seven million euros in reimbursement that we expected (…) “I am in debt to the tune of 5 million euros. This morning I am launching a national appeal for donations. I need your urgent help by May 15”she said.
On the set of Do not touch My TV, Cyril Hanouna and his team returned to this sequence. Gilles Verdez also provided details. “She spent 15 million euros, in her head, she was sure to exceed 5% so she thought she would get the eight million so she made a personal commitment. She took a loan as she has a significant heritage (. ..) They had a family meeting to see what she can sell. Either a house, or an apartment, or shares (…) It’s the crisis”, explained the columnist.
