The debate between the two rounds is one of the last major political meetings before the day of the second round.

An appointment that Marine Le Pen is preparing meticulously, five years after a first failed exercise.

The National Rally candidate will prepare in a secret location before facing Emmanuel Macron.

This is the meeting that can rock the second round of the presidential election.

The debate between the two rounds takes place on Wednesday evening, and after a painful precedent in 2017, Marine Le Pen is preparing this exercise with meticulousness.

His teams want to neglect no detail for this "revenge" against Emmanuel Macron.

According to information from Europe 1, tough discussions are taking place behind the scenes on the themes that will be addressed by the two finalists on Wednesday evening.

Outgoing President Emmanuel Macron wants to focus on the international rather than purchasing power for this debate.

But the National Rally categorically refuses this theme, which would benefit the president-candidate according to the party.

The order of the topics covered is also the subject of intense negotiations, the audience being stronger at the beginning.
