THE ESSENTIAL
During the second “Elysée 2022” evening on France 2, where the candidates were questioned by journalists, Emmanuel Macron canceled his visit.
To respect his speaking time, an extract from his meeting was broadcast.
In the polls, Marine Le Pen goes up against the current tenant of the Elysée, now credited with 23% of voting intentions in the first round by Elabe and Kantar-Epoka.
As the campaign ends Friday evening, the candidates must throw their last strength into the battle to convince the undecided, while record abstention is announced.

"I will be a candidate, but I will be in the second round" of the presidential election, he assured during the Elysée 2022 program on France 2. "I will not abandon the people who trusted me", said he added, visibly disturbed, when he was revived on the prospect of a candidacy for the legislative elections.

This time, no opponent on the set, but the worker painted the portrait of his successor Eric Zemmour in a few seconds.
A projection that made the rounds of social networks.
