After a start to the campaign without major debates, the two candidates will face off this Wednesday evening, on TF1 and France 2. Overview of the main subjects of division between the contenders for the Elysée.
An expected return match. Five after their first confrontation in the between-two-rounds of the presidential election, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will debate again on Wednesday evening. Both candidates play big. For Marine Le Pen, it is above all a question of washing away the affront of 2017, where she had been surpassed by the current head of state. Beyond gaining credibility, the candidate of the National Rally also hopes to capitalize on the rejection of the outgoing president. Emmanuel Macron, he assured France Info on April 15 that he was taking this debate “with great seriousness”. “It’s never an innocent moment”, he said. A sign of humility, when he knows that as outgoing president, he will inevitably be attacked on his record.
In front of journalists Léa Salamé (France 2) and Gilles Bouleau (TF1), the two contenders for the Elysée Palace will compete on their visions of society and their foreign policy orientations in particular. Purchasing power should open the debates, which will continue, according to RTL
