Faced with the results of the first round ballot, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will once again face the polls on April 24. As in 2017, the current President of the Republic and the president of the National Rally make it necessary to participate in a final debate to answer thorny questions, before the French make their final choice.
5 years ago, Marine Le Pen had missed this rather complicated exercise and it was her poor management of stress and her childish responses that had caused the influx of votes for Emmanuel Macron. If the 47-year-old blonde seems much better prepared and her campaign has gone much better this year, she also intends to succeed in her debate against Emmanuel Macron which will take place on Wednesday April 20.
Anne-Sophie Lapix radically excluded from the debate
For this debate, the presidential candidates have the right to choose which journalists will host the evening. “There are proposals that are made by the two channels that traditionally organize the debate, that is to say TF1, France 2. And then, by mutual agreement with the teams of the candidates, that is to say -say Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, we are negotiating the organization of the debate” explained Jordan Bardella, supporter of Marine Le Pen, on the set of the program “L’Heure des pros”.
If the choice has not yet been made, a famous journalist from France 2 has already been removed from the list: “Marine Le Pen does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix to animate the debate” specified Jordan Bardella who is president of the National Gathering.
Because there is such a bias and Anne-Sophie Lapix, whom I respect as a journalist, she cannot hide her hostility towards Marine Le Pen each time she receives her. Even Emmanuel Macron does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix to take the debate” he continued, specifying that he does not want to “speak in place of the candidates”. “It could be Anne-Claire Coudray and Léa Salamé , that would be original. But again, I’m not speaking on behalf of the candidates.”
