“I’m never afraid, I go to fight. » In Denain (Nord), a small town of 20,000 inhabitants near Valenciennes, Emmanuel Macron came to meet French people who are struggling with their purchasing power and did not vote for him.
Follow the news of the campaign: DIRECT. Presidential: in Denain, Emmanuel Macron says he is ready to “complete” his project
A “rough” terrain to show its desire to convince. Denain placed Marine Le Pen at the head of the first round of the presidential election (41.67%) Sunday April 10. Second, Jean-Luc Mélenchon obtained 28.57% of the votes of Denaisian voters. The outgoing president came third, far behind, with 14.57%.
“There is no longer a republican front”
Accused of not debating, of not campaigning before the first round, Emmanuel Macron, certainly came out on top on Sunday at the national level, but the gap is less than in 2017 with Marine Le Pen, followed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Two candidates pushed by the anger of many French people.
However, lucid, Emmanuel Macron notes, “there is no longer a republican front”. Implied, not sure that the scarecrow of the far right is enough to attract the votes of voters who did not choose him in the first round. Hence the need to leave the posture of President to put on the candidate’s costume and fully enter the campaign. “I want to try to convince people to do with me”, says Emmanuel Macron who wants ” to explain “ his method “which is not that of five years ago” and says he is ready to “enrich” his project.
Take the time to respond
“I campaigned later,” recognized Emmanuel Macron in front of a forest of microphones and cameras. He points “The War in Ukraine” who prevented him from launching his campaign ” When i wanted “. Also, he regrets, he could not explain his measures «Caricaturées». So, this Monday in Denain, he takes the time. To answer the questions of the inhabitants on the purchasing power, to the journalists on the political strategy of the between-two-turns.
“Be in contact with the field”
And that’s why, “to listen”, “to be in contact with the field”. This Monday in the North, Tuesday in the East, and probably elsewhere on Thursday before an outdoor meeting in Marseille next weekend. The campaign he has not done until then has begun.
