On television, a Republican Front … under reserves and under conditions

As the election party was taking place, the calls to be trailed to the far right were accompanied by addresses to Emmanuel Macron for its method of government.

At 8 pm on the television plateaus, we could have had the illusion of an election evening and a first round “in the old”, as we have known them since the extreme right has become accustomed to climbing the second round of the presidential. Sunday evening 10 April, after the qualification of Marine Le Pen, who first puts her in a position to win the Elysée, the voting instructions have even fallen earlier than usual.

In order, on all chains or almost: “I call you with gravity to vote against the extreme right of Marine Le Pen using the Emmanuel Macron voting ballot” (Anne Hidalgo, 1.74% ) “I will vote in Emmanuel Macron’s conscience to prevent the arrival in the power of Marine Le Pen and the resulting chaos” (Valérie Pécresse, 4.79%). “I call to beat the extreme right, to put it in check, using the only ballot that will be available” (Fabien Roussel, 2.31%). “I’m calling to block the extreme right by depositing in the ballot box an Emmanuel Macron” (Yannick Jadot, 4.58%). Arrived in third position (21.95% of the votes), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he repeats four times: “Do not give one voice to M me Le Pen.” Bel unanimism.

“It is said that Valérie Pécresse has been better tonight that usually because she is finally herself: she has shown that pecuresism was a macronism,” Ironizes the journalist of Figaro Alexandre Devecchio. He comments on CNews the beginning of the election evening with his colleague Eugénie Bastié, the Quebec sociologist Mathieu Bock-side and the current values ​​journalist Charlotte d’Ornellas. The mines are dark but the bad score of Eric Zemmour, former star of the chain, remains a taboo subject. “It happens at 7%; it is not nothing at all, it could have collapsed like the others,” comments later in the evening Louis de Raguenel, Head of the Political Department of Europe 1 and former values ​​of current values . But what counts, from 20 hours, it is this “dam” erect against the extreme right, that Devecchio calls “right national-conservative”. Will the Republican Front take place? “, The headband is quick on CNEWS, while Sonia Mabrouk asks his guests:” Everyone says that the Republican Front is worn, you also think it’s An exhausted model? “

A little unknown music

On the television trays, in the early evening, he still has beautiful remains. Only the member for the Republicans Eric Ciotti, on TF1, takes apart apart by explaining at 8:14 am, even before the declaration of his candidate, that he “will not vote Emmanuel Macron in the second round” and “will not give no instruction voting “. But on CNews, two guests from the Socialist Party (PS) make a small music hitherto unknown. Julien Dray, aka “Baron Noir”, and Manuel Valls, former Prime Minister of François Hollande, seem to explain that making a barrage at the National Collection (RN) does not mean to rally without conditions. “Rather than an antifascist forehead”, Dray calls to build a “positive coalition”, on the model of a coalition to the German, while Valls speaks of “Republican Pact” and “Republican Unity”. In short, the President should make some gestures before the second round and the legislative.
