While recent polls show the high probability of a duel between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election in 2022, Valérie Pécresse affirmed that the French did not want this match on Sunday on Europe 1. "So this game will not take place, I'm sure of that," she said.
INTERVIEW
In view of recent polls on the next presidential election, a duel between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen seems likely in the second round in 2022. In
Le Grand rendez-vous
Sunday on Europe 1, the right-wing president of the Île-de-France region -France, Valérie Pécresse, was however very skeptical about this possible scenario.
"The French do not want the Le Pen-Macron match," she said.
"They don't want it, they say it all over the range, so this game won't take place, I'm sure of that."
"A powerful rejection of the population"
For her, who asserts that "the time for (political) campaigns has not come" because of the Covid-19 crisis, the equation is simple: "When there is such a powerful rejection of the population of an announced match, then that match does not take place ".
The one who is not yet a candidate, neither for the regional elections next June, nor for the presidential election, also believes that such a second round is not possible, because "a year before, in each presidential election, the polls were wrong ".
