After a few days in solitary confinement, after having tested positive for Covid-19, Valérie Pécresse resumes her electoral campaign.

She is now entering a race against time to impose her political line, less than two weeks before the first round of the presidential election.

It's the return of his presidential campaign.

After a few days in isolation, due to the Covid-19, the Republican candidate is this Tuesday facing business leaders in Lille.

Less than two weeks before the first round of the presidential election, Valérie Pécresse is in a race against time.

A few days before the first round, should we make an impression?

A way of putting the unflattering polls into perspective and above all of underlining the importance of the last two weeks, when the vote of the French is crystallizing.

Valérie Pécresse is credited with 10-12% of voting intentions according to the polls. 

Some members of his team encourage him more than ever to take risks and to make trips likely to make an impression.

A surprise visit to Roubaix was thus considered for a time, but for the moment still does not seem to be confirmed.

Roubaix, stronghold of associative activist Amine Elbahi, revealed a few months ago by a report on the place of Islamism in his city and since then engaged alongside Valérie Pécresse.

However, the candidate does not deviate from her trajectory and remains true to herself, serious and technical, as evidenced by this new sequence with business leaders.

On the program, discussions on tax cuts, purchasing power and the fight against bureaucracy.

Subjects which she has made the heart of her program but which are also largely preempted by Emmanuel Macron.
