Supporters of Emmanuel Macron met in a Parisian bar on Wednesday evening to follow the debate between the two rounds and encourage their champion. Europe 1 met these activists who highlighted the performance of their candidate and exulted behind his many punchlines.
A World Cup atmosphere in a Paris bar privatized by the supporters of Emmanuel Macron. Several television screens hung on the walls and between two glasses of beer or a glass, the activists drink in the words of the president-candidate. Like the success of the French football team in 2018, these supporters believe that their champion won the match against Marine Le Pen on Wednesday evening, during the debate between the two rounds of the presidential election.
Applause behind Macron’s punchlines
This is the case of Morgan, Youth T-shirt with Macron on the shoulders. “He immediately returned to gravity. It’s good to show that he is someone who is capable of holding the reins of the country in a period like this”, he explains at the microphone. Europe 1. An opportunity for activists to exult behind the numerous offensives of the outgoing president.
Natasha is delighted with this strategy adopted by Emmanuel Macron: “This is where he can attack him. Opposite, he has a candidate who strongly proclaims the need for a sovereign France and who is going to borrow (from money) to the Russians.”
Olivier, however, does not get carried away. “It will comfort those who wanted to vote for Emmanuel Macron, and at the same time comfort those who wanted to vote for Marine Le Pen. This time, it may be a draw without really a clear advantage for a candidate”, affirms- he. If he evokes a “draw”, there was still thunderous applause at the end of the show.
