"Marine Le Pen does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix to lead the debate, because there is such a bias."

This statement is that of Jordan Bardella, interim president of the National Rally, held on CNews in Pascal Praud's show.

"I respect Anne-Sophie Lapix as a journalist, but she cannot hide her hostility towards Marine Le Pen each time she receives her. And Emmanuel Macron does not want Anne-Sophie Lapix either more,” he added.

A duo of journalists chosen by the channels and the candidates

Indeed, Emmanuel Macron could also oppose the presence of Anne-Sophie Lapix for the debate.

According to

, the president would not appreciate the work of this presenter.

The debate between the two rounds will take place on Wednesday April 20 in prime time.

It is organized by TF1 and France 2. The two channels must together offer a duo of presenters who are both equal and have equivalent profiles.

These two journalists must also be validated by the candidates in the running.

For the moment, there is no certainty about the identity of the journalists who will present this debate.

But several names circulate, such as those of Gilles Bouleau, Léa Salamé and Anne-Claire Coudray.

This is not the first time that Marine Le Pen has objected to the presence of a journalist for this debate.

In 2017, she had already refused to have Anne-Claire Coudray present the debate between the two rounds.

It was Christophe Jakubyszyn and Nathalie Saint-Cricq who were then chosen to moderate the debate.
