INTERVIEW
The latest polls one week before the elections worry: the National Rally has a card to play in certain French regions.
The idea of a Republican front to face the far right is emerging again.
But for several close to Emmanuel Macron, like Gabriel Attal, invited to Europe 1 this week, it is not necessarily necessary to withdraw in the second round.
He even proposes a "Republican alliance", a sort of merger of the lists against the RN.
Marlène Schiappa said she was "ready for anything" to block the National Rally.

"I am ready to do anything to ensure that the National Rally does not win" declared Marlène Schiappa on Sunday on Europe 1 without clearly stating whether she is in favor of a withdrawal in case of risk of passage of the far right in the second round .
In the Île-de-France region, where she leads the list of the presidential majority for the elections, "there is never the National Gathering at the head", she assures us.
Before adding: "therefore the question does not arise".
"It is up to everyone to take their responsibilities"
Asked about the Hauts-de-France and Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur regions where the Republicans face the National Rally, Marlène Schiappa kicks in: "it is up to everyone to take responsibility". The Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, in charge of Citizenship also adds that Gabriel Attal "is right about the finding" and that his "proposal deserves to be studied".
