Delivery of Covid-19, Valérie Pécresse, Les Républicains (LR) presidential candidate, resumed her field campaign.
Appointed following an internal primary by members of the LR party last December, the president of the Île-de-France region had a complicated presidential campaign.
A campaign which is in fact in the image of the LR party, which is struggling to define its political line between Emmanuel Macron, who practices a moderate right-wing policy economically, and the far right of Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour, who are in the bidding on the sovereign, in particular on the fight against immigration.
This Thursday, she responded to six readers of the Ebra group belonging to our panel of some 200 participants specially constituted for this campaign, in partnership with the Odoxa institute, during a meeting moderated by Nathalie Mauret, political journalist at the information office general Ebra and Claire Planchard, editor-in-chief Ebra in Paris.
Review this “Facing the voters”
A project to “repair France”
Valérie Pécresse defends a project of rupture with Emmanuel Macron and reconstruction to “repair France”. But she struggled to impose one of her flagship measures (the 10% increase in net salaries for those earning less than 2,800 euros) as a marker of her campaign. Clearly ahead in the polls by Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, she is neck and neck with Eric Zemmour.
Very resilient and determined, she does not admit defeat and wants to believe in the promise of a second round, even if it seems less and less likely.
