Since she has been running for the Élysée Palace, Marine Le Pen has been causing a lot of ink to flow. The candidate intends to refocus her campaign by relying on the strategy of others who have succeeded before her… Like Jacques Chirac.
Candidate representing her political party, the National Rally, Marine Le Pen fights against the amalgamations between her lines and those of Eric Zemmour, defends herself from promoting the same ideas, and seems to struggle to find her place in the middle of a crowd of candidates . But according to The Express, the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen is about to change strategy. Citing great names in politics, Marine Le Pen wishes to be inspired by the one who was twice the president of the French, from 1995 to 2007, Jacques Chirac. Thereby, “Far from traditional Lepenist references”, the 2022 presidential candidate even cites the 1995 presidential campaign … just as Emmanuel Macron did before her, who expressed, this fall, wanting to organize his campaign “like Jacques Chirac for his 1995 campaign”.
Opposed to Édouard Balladur, Jacques Chirac had then created a place just for him, “A space in the center”. He had, in addition, used his image of good living, “Apple lover to eat and drink”, to win the hearts of the French, in addition to his political ideas … The campaign director of Marine Le Pen, Christophe Bay, explains this position. “Jacques Chirac was able to arouse hope, and win a victory that no one predicted.”

A campaign that causes Marine Le Pen such a concern that she was led to make a request to Emmanuel Macron, about the financing of his presidential campaign, so that the latter opens “New funding possibilities” campaigns by certain candidates who are having difficulty.
