The site does not mention La République en Marche or Emmanuel Macron anywhere, but the legal notices mention a domicile at the party's headquarters and Stanislas Guerini, the boss of LREM, as director of publication.
"You don't recognize yourself in the statements of the candidates for the presidential election? It's normal, they don't talk about you, they talk about them. Our approach is the opposite of that", indicates the site on its home page, by also offering to subscribe to a newsletter to follow "campaign news".
"We have been criticized every day of this five-year term for not being professional politicians. This reproach is justified, it is even a source of pride - perhaps that is why we are the only ones to listen to you", is he said, in reference to Emmanuel Macron who had urged the deputies of the majority to be "proud to be amateurs" in February 2020.
"That's good, because our goal is not to campaign against a camp, or worse, against a part of the French. It's to campaign for, and to campaign with", continues the text, trying to resume the accents of the victorious campaign of 2017, when it came to advocating benevolence and refraining from whistling during meetings.
Also appearing on the site are seventeen videos of testimonials from French people of all ages and all conditions, from a sheep farmer in the Roya valley in the Alpes-Maritimes to a teacher from Metz and a nurse from Bordeaux.
The testimonies refer to elements of defense of the balance sheet of the five-year term, for example the duplication of CP classes in the priority education network or the Ségur de la santé.
The launch of the site must be accompanied by a poster and tract campaign.
Emmanuel Macron has still not formally declared his candidacy for re-election, but indicated that he "wants" to do so during an interview with Le Parisien in early January.
