It's a very political Sunday.

The candidates are trying a tour de force before the first round of the presidential election in two weeks.

The Reconquest! candidate, Éric Zemmour, will be at the Trocadéro this Sunday, March 27 in the afternoon, where he hopes to gather 50,000 people.

Still in Paris, Yannick Jadot, candidate for Europe Ecology-The Greens (EELV) gives an appointment to his activists at the Zénith.

For his part, the candidate of France Insoumise (LFI) will be present at the Prado, in Marseille.

Five years ago, 70,000 people came to attend his meeting in the second city of France.

An appointment that is really close to his heart.

The rebellious leader is very calm before this Marseille meeting: "Here, we don't take too many risks because it's Marseille, because there are people with good memories", he explains.

Marseille is the image of France desired by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with a population he calls "creolized".

The city is a port open to the world with privileged access to what the candidate likes the most: the Mediterranean.

"The Mediterranean Sea is going to be a place in the world where very important things will happen in the years to come. You also have to think of it as a cemetery. I am also the spokesperson for something", explains the candidate of rebellious France by referring to his immigration from Tangier, his city of birth.

"This one, I'm going to win it"

But Marseille is also a source of inspiration for Jean-Luc Mélenchon when he talks about his presidential campaign: mouse."

A mouse hole for the second round, because the rebellious leader is now three points behind Marine Le Pen according to the latest Ipsos poll.
