Recurring face of the antennae France Televisions, the journalist Nathalie Saint-Cricq was present on the set of the show Daily April 23, 2021, on TMC. Invited to the program presented by Yann Barthès as part of the promotion of his latest book, the one who animated the debate between the two rounds of the presidential election alongside Christophe Jakubyszyn in 2017 returned to the clash between Emmanuel Macron and Marine le Pen. The political journalist notably unveiled the strategy that the future President of the Republic at the time had decided to adopt against his opponent that evening.
After the broadcast of an excerpt from the debate where Marine le Pen gets tangled up in brushes, Nathalie Saint-Cricq explains that she felt that the one who recently reframed Marlène Schiappa wanted “stuck” the daughter of Jean-Marie le Pen. “Either way, that’s what was planned from the start. You feel like he wants to corner her for ‘incompetence’,” reveals the political journalist of France Televisions. “And she falls into it (in the trap editor’s note), which was relatively expected, “ adds Nathalie Saint-Cricq. In addition, the one who for a time headed the political service of the public audiovisual group said that Emmanuel Macron was also “be careful with do not give this unpleasant image of the teacher with the student, nor of the contemptuous, or arrogant which would say: ‘ah, you don’t know your files’ “.
“His strategy was to show that there were inconsistencies in the solutions that Marine le Pen was proposing”
“Is she falling into a trap?” Yann Barthès then asked his guest, “because it looks like she’s doing it on her own” adds the presenter of Daily. “From the start, the strategy (Emmanuel Macron editor’s note), from what I thought I understood because I had nevertheless followed the campaign, was to show that there were inconsistencies in the solutions she proposed. That is to say there were things that did not hold water, “ explained Nathalie Saint-Cricq. The journalist takes as an example another passage of the debate where Marine le Pen is again tangled up in the face of the one who sent a message of condolence to Queen Elizabeth II following the death of Prince Philip. “He didn’t let a thing pass,” Nathalie Saint-Cricq thus concluded.
