After the Kärcher, here is the fire.
The LR presidential candidate, Valérie Pécresse, blasted Emmanuel Macron this Saturday, speaking of a president "pyromaniac" and "disconnected from the deep aspirations" of the French.
"Emmanuel Macron, who claimed to want an exemplary Republic, has become a counterexample" which "feeds the rejection of all authority figures," she said during a press briefing at her campaign headquarters.
"I fight the extremes just as much, but it is the president in place that I want to debunk", she added, surrounded by her ex-competitors in the primary Xavier Bertrand, Eric Ciotti and Michel Barnier, as well as the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher and leaders of LR Christian Jacob and Annie Genevard.
Pécresse and Le Pen in a pocket square
Denouncing the "solitary" and "talkative" presidency of the Head of State, of which she criticized a "pile of renouncements", Valérie Pécressse assured him: "I will not be a solo president but a president conductor. ".
"France is too fragile today for a pyromaniac president," she said, promising that her presidency would be "one of solutions, convictions, respect, courage and duty".
Two new polls on Friday gave, in the same order, Emmanuel Macron widely leading the first round, with 25% (BVA for RTL and Orange) or 26% (Ipsos Sopra-Steria for franceinfo and Le Parisien) in front of a trio made up of Marine Le Pen (17%), Valérie Pécresse (16%) and Eric Zemmour (12%).
"We must fight so that all those who do not think as we do can say it"
Asked about Eric Zemmour's quest for sponsorship, Valérie Pécresse felt that "helping him is not my role and it is not the role of Republicans".
But "when a political figure represents a current of thought in public opinion, he must be able to stand for the presidential election," she added.
Invoking Voltaire, she affirmed that "we must fight so that all those who do not think as we do can say it".
"But we must fight them on the level of ideas and on the democratic level", she added.
As for the idea of anonymous sponsorship, "the question arises when a certain number of mayors find themselves not daring to sponsor a candidate", which is "problematic for democracy", she said.
