Valérie Pécresse won the vote of the Republicans activists on Saturday, December 4, and will be the party’s candidate for the 2022 presidential election. Cyril Graziani analyzes this result and the consequences for Emmanuel Macron on the 19/20 plateau.
The president of the Île-de-France region therefore won the Les Républicains primary and will represent her party in the 2022 presidential election. “The numerous presidential trips to Hauts-de-France showed that Emmanuel Macron had chosen his opponent: Xavier Bertrand “, argues Cyril Graziani, on the 19/20 set, Saturday 4 December. “It changes the situation. The first objective will be to go and seek part of the electorate of the president, who came from the moderate right, perhaps seduced by the new candidate LR.”
Valérie Pécresse has also targeted the President of the Republic. “When Emmanuel Macron wants, she wants to please, says the candidate,” said the journalist, who then continued his remarks, while the former minister obtained more than 60% of the votes. “She has her hands free. Her score allows her to free herself from Eric Ciotti and her very right-handed line. The strength of the president of the Île-de-France region is to have made people forget, in her camp, that she was Macron-compatible. Her opponents, especially on the far right, trumpet that she will be Prime Minister of Emmanuel Macron in the event of a second five-year term. She has other ambitions. ”
