Dthem visions. Two projects for France. On Wednesday evening, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen opposed each other during the traditional debate between the two rounds against the French. If the two candidates for the presidency of the Republic had lively exchanges on the substance, the form ultimately proved to be much more polished. And twenty-four hours after this duel, Philippe Labro asks several questions.

Was Macron “sloppy” as many observers have commented? “I would say that he was rather casual, nonchalant, that he had difficulty in concealing his contempt”, continues the journalist.

Was it violent? ” Yes and no. “No, because the head of the National Rally and the current president” greeted each other, smiled and remained courteous “. The opening of the debate, on the question of purchasing power, even turned out to be rather muted between the two candidates. But the violence appeared when approaching the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“Was it similar to previous debates? Nope ! There is nothing to do, the language has changed […] Of course, form matters. But it’s the background that matters most. And basically, Ms. Le Pen missed it, ”judges the writer. But then who won this debate? “0-0, the ball in the middle? It’s more like 4-0, the ball on the right, ”concludes Philippe Labro.
