Winning on Sunday is the only objective displayed by Emmanuel Macron during his penultimate campaign trip to Saint-Denis.
He explained in what state of mind he approached the final sprint of the campaign: “
Me, I am determined, concentrated, committed and, for me, nothing is decided.
The French and the French will make their choice on April 24.
Nothing is played and I call on all those who support me to redouble their energy, their efforts to convince as many French women and men as possible
.
think about after
Don't give up even if the polls give it a win.
That does not prevent thinking about what to do in the event of an election, especially since others are already displaying their ambitions like Jean-Luc Mélenchon who sees himself as Prime Minister.
A premature hypothesis according to Emmanuel Macron: "
To spin the sporting metaphor, it's always better when you're on the eve of the semi-final not to immediately make the final score sheet
".
Don't close any doors
But if on April 25, Emmanuel Macron is still president, he knows what he must do: “
The responsibility for tomorrow is to draw the consequences if the French women and men trust me.
This means that we must, if we want to reunify the country, also have a posture of listening, of openness, of broader ambition which must continue
”.
Emmanuel Macron does not want to close any doors before Sunday's vote.
