Valérie Pécresse traveling to Armenia

Tuesday, December 21, Valérie Pécresse (LR) is in Armenia for her first trip before the presidential election. The candidate’s primary objective? Stand out, says journalist Julien Nény, live from Yerevan, for France 3. “Even if she defends herself publicly, Valérie Pécresse wants to show that with this trip to Armenia she already has the beginnings of international stature, unlike Eric Zemmour“, who went there ten days ago.

The program is loaded for the candidate: one hour interview with the highest religious authority in the country, lunch with the Armenian president… So many meetings that Eric Zemmour could not get. In addition, this trip allows Valérie Pécresse to send clear messages to the Armenian community in France, and to send a signal to the Catholics, who partly make up her electorate. In total, 400,000 French voters come from this community, specifies Julien Nény.
