• Absent during what should have been his first meeting in Marseille this Saturday, Emmanuel Macron will also be absent from the debates with his opponents before the first round.

  • A strategy that includes the majority of its supporters from the Marseille city, which recalls the unprecedented international context of this campaign.

He will be absent on television sets, as he was absent this Saturday, from the Docks des Suds in Marseille, from what was to be his first campaign meeting.

Emmanuel Macron has clearly announced the color: in this flash campaign which is announced, the candidate for his re-election has decided to shun the debates to come, before the first round, in the face of these adversaries.

A choice that includes his supporters present in this “gathering” without a candidate, and to which Emmanuel Macron addressed … via a video.

“I hear some say that he does not want to debate, launches Renaud Muselier, president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, from the podium.

Two hours ago he was with Putin and the German Chancellor to bring peace!

He does not slip away!

He ensures, with his experience, that Europe unites together!

“I think that for the moment, he may have something else to do, believes Arnaud, who came from Martigues to experience the first political meeting of his life there.

What is happening in Ukraine, anyway… Emmanuel Macron has to manage a lot of tensions, and this is not the time to scatter!

“There may be a bit of strategy behind all this”

“I think I have a small idea of ​​his agenda, so this decision does not surprise me, abounds Mourad, who presents himself as a Marseille Modem activist.

Afterwards, there is perhaps a little strategy behind all that.

He currently has the right role, as protector of the Nation.

And then, when you look at the polls, I wonder if there is much need to debate!

“The priority is not to participate in a debate, plague Martine.

It's a trick mounted by journalists to boil the pot.

When you see the debate between Zemmour and Pécresse, it does not make you want!

“We would have real challengers opposite, it would be interesting, mocks his neighbor Florent, a macronist from the start who had already campaigned for the candidate in 2017. He has neither to lose nor to gain by participating in this kind of debates.

He has other things to do.

And then he said he would participate in the debate before the second round.

There, there will be two opposing visions.

The sorting will have been done by the ballot box.

So there will be more legitimacy.

“We need to be convinced”

The tone is less peremptory, however, among the not really historical supporters of the President of the Republic, like Lilia and her friends.

"We came to this meeting because we are activists for Lionel Royer-Perreaut", details the young Marseillaise, who frankly admits that she did not vote for Emmanuel Macron in 2017. The one who is mayor of the 9th and 10th arrondissements of Marseille, a historic LR activist, recently rallied the President of the Republic.

“Just as we came to this meeting to see what Emmanuel Macron is proposing, I think he could have held a debate to respond to his opponents and present his project, continues Lilia.

The confrontation of ideas and the exchange make it possible to convince the undecided.

We need to be convinced.

If there is no debate, we cannot be convinced.

Because even if Lionel Royer-Perreaut now supports Macron, we remain free!

“A good hearing…
