The presidential majority launched its campaign site on Thursday, “avecvous2022.fr”.
Last September, a poster with the codes of Netflix, “Macron, president of young people, strongly that we sign for five more seasons”, posted in Paris and across France aroused curiosity. It was the work of the Young with Macron. Thursday, it is the site “avecvous2022.fr” which intrigues and says a lot about the intentions of the outgoing president, who has not yet revealed his intentions for the presidential election.
Less than three months before the first round, the presidential majority discreetly launched its campaign site on Thursday. “Discover the voice of the French and make yours heard”, is it written on the home page. The site does not mention La République en Marche or Emmanuel Macron anywhere, but the legal notices mention a domicile at the headquarters of the presidential party and Stanislas Guerini, the boss of LREM, as director of publication.
Testimonials from French
“You don’t recognize yourself in the declarations of the candidates for the presidential election? It’s normal, they don’t talk about you, they talk about them. Our approach is the opposite of that”, still indicates the site on its home page. “We have been criticized every day of this five-year term for not being professional politicians. This reproach is justified, it is even a source of pride – perhaps that is why we are the only ones to listen to you”, it is stated, in reference to Emmanuel Macron who had urged the deputies of the majority of to be “proud to be amateurs” in February 2020.
Avecvous2022.fr invites Internet users to “make their voices heard” on a subject that they would like to “see at the heart of the public debate”. Among the testimonials online, we find that of Pierre, restaurateur, and Loana, nurse in Bordeaux, Dominique retired in Palavas-Les Flots, Armand breeder in Tende or Chloé who talks about safety in the neighborhoods. The testimonies refer to elements of defense of the balance sheet of the quinquennium.
A Twitter account, a poster and tract campaign
The launch of the site must be accompanied by a poster and tract campaign. It is possible to leave your contact details to be “informed of the news of the campaign”. An “@avecvous” Twitter account was also launched. At the end of the day on Thursday, he had nearly 2,000 subscribers, including Stanislas Guérini, Richard Ferrand, Gabriel Attal, Bruno Le Maire, Elisabeth Borne, Marlène Schiappa, Benjamin Griveaux… As an AFP photographer noted, the message “With you” is also displayed on the front of the headquarters of La République en Marche, rue du Rocher in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Elysée.
Emmanuel Macron has not formalized his intentions for the presidential election. In an interview with the “Parisien” at the beginning of January – which made a lot of noise with his comments on the non-vaccinated – he mentioned his desire. “There is no false suspense. I want to. As soon as there are the sanitary conditions that allow it and that I have clarified this subject, in myself and in relation to the political equation, I will say what it is. Monday, January 24, during a visit to an agricultural school in Ahun, Creuse, questioned by a student about a possible application, he replied: “I will announce my decision in due time. I will continue to fight until the end. We still have a lot of things to do. So, answer to the next episode”.
