While the battle continues on the far right between Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour, Yannick Jadot, credited around 5 to 8%, denounced “a sort of Lépine contest of racism, anti-Semitism, revisionism, hatred, death drives”. “It can’t be our national narrative”he hammered, the day after two meetings of the candidates RN and Reconquest!, respectively in Reims and Lille.
To explain that the right and the extreme right are leading the polls, he highlighted the disappearance of public services, “after quinquenniums and quinquenniums”. “You take away the post office, the station, the local shops, it’s 5-10 points for the far right. It’s economic insecurity, social insecurity.” who are involved, he says.
Compared to the rebellious candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon, who precedes him on the left in the voting intentions, the candidate EELV explained: “I have a difference with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, I want to govern this country”. “We will be the only project that aligns with the requirement of scientists not to exceed 1.5 degrees of warming”he said.
For her part, the socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo judged on France 3 on Sunday that Jean-Luc Mélenchon would not be “not in the second round because he does not want to govern with the social democrats”.
She wants Emmanuel Macron to declare himself quickly. “The Constitution did not provide for a president who is absorbed in his task to pass the test next door, that does not exist”she insisted, believing to be “in a country where the rule of law, respect for opposition, respect for political debate makes sense”. “It is time (…) that he dares to dive into the big bath”launched Anne Hidalgo, also wishing that the president participate in a debate with the other candidates before the first round on April 10 because “there is no automatic re-election”.
Yannick Jadot is of the same opinion on the need for a debate: “Our democracy needs it. In this campaign, we are not simply going to compare how many Nazis there are in Zemmour and how many Nazis there are in Marine le Pen”.
