"I am the only one who can beat Emmanuel Macron," said Valérie Pécresse on Thursday.

Big winner of the first round of the Primary Republicans, the 54-year-old president of Ile-de-France was very confident about her possible candidacy for the presidential election.

She thus assured that "on the side of the Elysee, they will have to rewrite their scenario" of a second round facing the far right.

The Republican right “has never had a female candidate, it's a taboo to break,” she then said on CNews.

Eric Ciotti, on the other hand, does not have exactly the same vision of things.

According to him, a positioning "too close to macronism will in no way make it possible to beat the outgoing President of the Republic", he said.

"I am the only one able to bring together right-wing voters," he insisted on CNews, after his qualification on which "few commentators would have bet".

Big loser of this first round of the primary even though he was given the winner, Xavier Bertrand admitted that he had "failed to convince" and assured that "now the most important is the gathering".
