All eyes are on this Wednesday evening towards Plaine-Saint-Denis where Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen compete, qualified for the second round of the presidential election. The poster is the same as five years ago.
Brigitte Macron presents alongside the candidate president
The two candidates went to Lendit studios at the end of the day, accompanied by relatives and supporters. The outgoing president walked the red carpet, hand in hand with his wife Brigitte Macron. Government spokesman Gabriel Attal and François Bayrou also made the trip to be closer to their candidate.
Marine Le Pen arrived alone. Jordan Bardella, acting president of the National Rally, is among the supporters present next to the candidate. The finalists were notably welcomed by Delphine Ernotte, president of France Télévisions and Gilles Pélisson, CEO of the TF1 group.
The big meeting of the presidential campaign, an institution in place since 1974, presented this year by Léa Salamé and Gilles Bouleau, is broadcast on TF1, France 2 and the news channels BFM TV, C news, Franceinfo, as well as the Parliamentary Channel.
