The war in Ukraine goesprevent the presidential campaign? The situation goesit benefit the outgoing president, chief of the armies? Already, Emmanuel Macron has gained points in the polls. This is called the “flag effect”, when in times of crisis, a people lines up behind its president.
Two presidential addresses in less than a week. A disrupted campaign, with the war at the gates of Europe. As head of the armies, Emmanuel Macron reinforces the incarnation of the presidential function. According to opinion polls, a majority approves of the action of the Head of State in this crisis. This is called the “flag effect”. With nearly 28% of voting intentions, the Head of State remains in the lead and gains nearly 4 points in one week.
But his entry into the campaign against a background of war cannot eclipse the difficulties encountered by the French, under penalty of being sanctioned at the ballot box. By April 10, the head of state will therefore have to wage an unprecedented battle. On the one hand managing an international crisis, and on the other, campaigning, meeting the French. On the evening of Friday March 4, candidate Macron broadcast a first clip on social networks. His opponents were waiting for this moment. A flash campaign, which can finally begin.
