Valérie Pécresse was in Corsica on Thursday for her first trip of the week, after spending the night on the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Criticized for her lack of warmth, candidate LR, who is stagnating in the polls, tried to display a much more pleasant and smiling face.
Mission seduction for Valérie Pécresse. Traveling to Corsica this Thursday, the LR candidate tried to show a much more open and warm face. While stagnating in the polls, the president of the Ile-de-France region now wishes to strengthen her proximity to the French.
Pécresse more smiling
It would seem that Valérie Pécresse has heard the criticisms of her lack of warmth. The candidate LR was indeed more smiling today, almost chiraquienne. She did not hesitate to greet residents on their balconies or to enter a hairdresser. Gestures a priori harmless in the countryside, but which we had yet seen very little so far.
Valérie Pécresse then stopped at a restaurant and tasted Corsican meat. Then, she was kindly indignant when her interlocutor contacted Xavier Bertrand to invite him to drink wine. “And don’t talk to him, I’m the winegrower’s daughter-in-law,” she said with humor. The candidate continued the discussion, but very quickly regained her naturalness. “And on the water? The irrigation, how is it going?”, She asked.
Strengthen its proximity with the French
Solving concrete problems is what interests Valérie Pécresse. Rachida Dati and others advise him to bring a part of transgression in his campaign. Response from the candidate: “Listen, I’m speeding up, I’m going for it. I’m building a project for France and I’m going to gather the people of France around me to carry it”. No question of fueling divisions, even if, obviously, Valérie Pécresse intends to strengthen her proximity to the French.
