And to achieve this, the candidates for the Élysee call on the French to mobilize in 2022, like its rival from the National Rally, Marine Le Pen.
“
I invite you not to watch or wait for the presidential election, but to do it.
"
I wish all French people and their families my best wishes for happiness, health and success.
2022 will be a year of crucial hope for our country.
I have confidence in the strength that France has always found in its history to recover, thanks to the start of its people.

The health crisis is resurfacing but it should not erase the political debate, they say in sum.
"
I do not resolve to this massive abstention,
assures the candidate of the Republicans, Valérie Pécresse.
It is a divorce with democracy.
I do not resolve myself to this flight to extremes either.
And then I stand up against the inaction of the power in place.
"
In 2022 the fate of France will be played out.
I want to raise a hope.
May the French once again feel respected.
I call for a debate without taboos that the health crisis must not stifle.
My warmest wishes for a Happy New Year to all of you.

"Which France do we want?
"
Many French people do not yet have their nose in it or are very hesitant.
But in three months, they will have to choose, insists the socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo: "
Which France do we want?
An unequal, unjust, divided France where those who have led us today for 5 years express their condescension towards the most modest?
"
I wish a happy new year 2022 to all French people.
This year, we can help the republican left, social, ecological and progress.
This left which wishes to unite and govern together is the only possible way.

As for the candidate of the Greens, Yannick Jadot, he plans, in his wishes, squarely in 2027 and takes stock of what his five-year term would be if the French chose the “
green vote
” next April.
They all have 100 days left to convince.
In 2027, the ecology in power will have transformed France.
The useful vote is the green vote.
I wish you a happy new year 2022. # Jadot2022 🌻 pic.twitter.com/5ss9q3X9go
