The LR candidate Valérie Pécresse returned, Friday April 8 on France Inter, to the campaign which has just ended and took advantage of it, two days before the first round, to castigate the outgoing president.
On France Inter, candidate LR Valérie Pécresse took advantage of the last regulatory day to speak before Sunday’s vote, explaining that she has “the impression that the scenario is written in advance. His target: Emmanuel Macron. “We have a President of the Republic who did not want to campaign and forbade his ministers to debate with me. He wanted a face to face with the extremes because it is his assurance of re-election. In the first round we choose our ideas, our convictions. »
The President of the Region added that, unlike the other candidates who claim to be from the right, ” [s]our program is not extreme, it will not put disorder in the street, nor bankruptcy in our accounts. He is serious, funded, will restore authority and make the necessary reforms. It is necessary to thwart the scenarios written in advance. “She then slipped a new tackle on the president-candidate: “I would have assumed my balance sheet, I would not have avoided debating on France 2 by passing on my electoral propaganda instead of questions from journalists. This is why there is a wave of degagism. »

“We should not have accepted the presidency of Europe”
Valérie Pécresse declared that, as minister, she had stood facing the street and that she would do so again if the French voted for her: “Wherever I have been, I have stood facing the street, so that Macron in Corsica, in two street movements, he lets go with autonomy. I am a candidate who holds, it is the policy by the proof. We have a president who did not have the courage to reform pensions and then told us two days later that two years of consultation would be good. »

She also focused on the theme of work, saying that her “great measure is the 10% increase in wages because I want work to pay more than assistantship. […] I also want a real family policy, but the difference is that I am not Mrs. Claus, I will not bequeath an abysmal debt to future generations. I am a candidate who does what she says. If you want seriousness, purchasing power, you have to vote for me. »
The candidate said she was worried about the “French [qui] tell me every day that they can no longer pay their gas and petrol bills” adding that “either we create a real energy shield by getting out of our addiction, or we can’t. Emmanuel Macron is guilty of drawing a line under nuclear power much too quickly. »
She also called for the prosecution of Vladimir Putin following the abuses committed against civilians in the town of Boutcha: “We will have to reform very powerfully the mechanism of the international criminal court. Boutcha’s atrocities must be judged, accounted for, and Putin prosecuted. The procedure has been opened but it will take far too long […] We must get out of this war through a diplomatic solution. An interlocutor does not mean an ally. »
Emmanuel Macron was once again taken to task by candidate LR: “We should not have accepted the presidency of Europe in this period and Emmanuel Macron did it knowingly so as not to answer for his calamitous record in terms of security, immigration, public services. “Valérie Pécresse challenged the fact that the outgoing president is “passing for a right-wing man by taking up elements of my program but these are bad plagiarisms. Macron is not from the right. »
