As revealed The Parisian, Wednesday, December 29, Emmanuel Macron remains suspicious of Valérie Pécresse, who presents himself as his potential and main rival for the election of 2022.
In four months, the 2022 presidential election will take place and in the polls, the possibility that Emmanuel Macron will face Valérie Pécresse directly is seriously advanced. As revealed by our colleagues from Parisian, Wednesday, December 29, the President of the Republic keeps an eye on his rival on the right, who could well get in his way. “She, she can cause us problems”, he had launched in September, to several of his advisers.
What astonish the latter, unaccustomed to such cash confidences from the Head of State. The Republican candidate, for her part, seeks to type where it hurts. Monday, December 27, The Parisian unveiled the weakness of his opponent that Valérie Pécresse intends to exploit for the next election. “Macron is alone. We are going to play a lot on the collective”, announced Vincent Jeanbrun, LR mayor of Haÿ-les-Roses, in Val-de-Marne. Determined to unite the French around her, the politician said last November that she could “make an electorate aware that there is better than Macron” and that she even counted “go and siphon off his voters” to gain ground.

During the reshuffle, the name of Valérie Pécresse was suggested to Matignon, but quickly put aside by the main interested party. “I don’t trust her”, replied the Head of State. While the two policies could have joined forces, each chose to follow its path. See you next April for the rest of the story.
