We could have wondered about the interest of such an event. Why, after the failure of the Zenith Meeting in February to which a lot imputes the skidding of the campaign, does Valérie Pécresse reiterate the exercise at the exhibition center of the Porte de Versailles, in Paris, April 3? Effective on television, the candidate did not know, on the other hand, appropriate the format of the meeting. And a week of polls, the right elected officials have no hope to reach the second round. For this second large Parisian meeting, it was actually mainly to “wash the affront” of the failure of the Zenith and trying to win enough points in order to be before Eric Zemmour on April 10th.

Sunday, Valérie Pécresse learned from his mistakes and has been more combative than ever. Rather than climbing on stage alone, it was preceded by several party executives who came to heat the room.
