The Party candidate The Republicans continues to multiply travel and interventions, and shows offensive against Emmanuel Macron, that she “would not take as a minister”.

It’s a circumstance sky who welcomed Valérie Pécresse Friday, March 18 at Ohr-Torah school, formerly Ozar-Hatorah school. Gray, low and heavy above the school where Mohammed Merah perpetrated his killing in 2012. Collected and visibly moved, the candidate of the right filed a sheaf in front of the stele erected in the school yard in memory of Four victims, three of whom of the same family. She then took the time to chat with alumni, including Jonathan Chetrit, author of the book Toulouse 19 March 2012 (Albin Michel, 208 p., 19.90 euros), a return on the attack by those who have it lived. “I am impressed by this solidarity, this family spirit and the humanity that we feel in this school”, launched the party candidate the Republicans (LR) in the courtyard who saw the martyrdom of the students.
This year, another right figure is also awaited in the school to pay tribute to the victims: Nicolas Sarkozy. The former President of the Republic will be alongside Emmanuel Macron, the candidate president that the right dream of dislodging. The prerogative of former President of the Republic Certain – François Hollande should also be present – but complicated symbol in a campaign above which the clouds pile up. On the right, we regret that the support of the former president is waiting so much, while the candidate needs it more than ever. Favoluated, some fear that Mr. Sarkozy, whose word and opinions still weigh so on right, officially announces support to Emmanuel Macron. For others, no need to do it openly, his silence is already pretty eloquent like that.
How do we interrogate in a resigned tone within the party, could Nicolas Sarkozy support a candidate that the surveys place sometimes fourth, sometimes fifth behind the extreme right candidate Eric Zemmour and that of France Insouchaise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon? This is the case in the Ipsos-Sopra Steria survey in partnership with CEVIPOF and the Jean Jaurès Foundation for Le Monde published on March 19, where the candidate falls to 10.5% voting intentions in the first round. And too bad if the party needs it more than ever, the very existence of which is threatened by a third failed potential for the presidential election.
Slow poison
“In life, you always have to support his friends, leaving far the polls and the hindsight. It’s right now that we have to be with you,” tried to reassure Jean -Luc Moudenc, the mayor of Toulouse, Friday, March 18 at a public meeting in the pink city held with Valérie Pécresse.
