“When we are using this worn-out strategy of re-demonization, it means that we have nothing to say on the merits”, slashed the far-right candidate, who smoothed her speech for this campaign. .
Emmanuel Macron went on the attack on Thursday against "the far-right tandem" Marine le Pen-Éric Zemmour, regretting that their ideas were "trivialized",
"It's the return of the old world, the least imaginative" and "it won't take him very far", added Marine Le Pen.
"Emmanuel Macron would do better to explain his record, which is deplorable" in terms of security, immigration and employment and "possibly to debate ideas against ideas".
While Emmanuel Macron plans to hold a big meeting on Saturday near Paris, the candidate, who is due to hold a small public meeting on Friday evening in Stiring-Wendel in Moselle, castigated the choice of "flashy meetings".
"The idea is not so much to convince as to try to impress," she said, boasting that she was not trying to "impress" but to "go to the closer" to the French.
