Valérie Pécresse today pays for her bitter defeat in the first round of the presidential election.
And the note is salty since it amounts to five million euros.
The candidate LR therefore relaunched a call for donations on Monday, after having collected two million euros during a previous operation.
This first call, launched the day after the second round, “allowed us to collect two million euros”, affirms the ex-candidate LR in a video message posted on social networks.
“But we are still a long way off.
This is why I am relaunching my appeal for donations”, she adds, invoking “those who share [his] convictions” but also those who “for fear of extremes have chosen the useful vote from the first round”.
Touched by your messages of sympathy.
Thank you for your donations even if we are still far from the goal.
Yes, democracy has a cost, but less than the absence of pluralism.
