In the evening of his victory in the presidential election, on May 7, 2017, it was one of his promises to the French pronounced during his speech at the Louvre: “I will do everything, during the five years coming, for that they have no reason to vote for the extremes. “Five years later, Emmanuel Macron admitted his failure on this subject, Monday, April 4th on France Inter, recognizing that he” did not succeed ” .
“There is a great disturbance in our societies. We have seen it with the pandemic, the disturbance of the living and the ecological disturbance. A disturbance as geopolitically. The disturbance of the consciences related to social networks … All this creates in Our Society of Fears. And those who play with fears ride. So I have not managed to stem it, “said the president candidate on the public radio, six days from the first round of the presidential election.
But Mr. Macron says he counts “continue the fight in this campaign” by going to “convince people who, today, are tempted by the extremes to explain how the extremes do not bring the correct answer , that the fears that people have sometimes legitimate, but that the real answer is another and that it can sometimes take time “.
“When we are afraid of migratory phenomena, I think it is also necessary to defend what is our DNA, that is to say, our duty to welcome those who flee a country at war, like the Ukrainians And the Ukrainians today, “he continued, while ensuring that” at the same time “we must” know how to fight against illegal immigration. It is by this clarity, this requirement, that we can Reply to fears, and at the same time hold a republican answer “.
” Gribouille policy “
At the same time, Monday morning, one of the far-right candidates, Marine Le Pen took a long time taken on Mr. Macron’s balance sheet, including his energy choices. While the RTE electrical network manager called the French to moderate their consumption, Monday, “it means that in France, in 2022, we ask people to no longer light their lights or to heat up,” criticized the Candidate of the National Gathering (RN) on BFM-TV, denouncing “a Gribouille Policy in Energy Matters” on the part of the Head of State.
“In reality, we stopped investing in the nuclear sector. He disorganized by his announcements the nuclear sector and today we are no longer able to heat the completeness of the French correctly. C ‘ is very heavy, it’s very serious, she denounced. That’s why I say to the French, “You know, the vote you are going to do on the 10th and the 24th of April will not only determine the Five years, but the next fifty years “. For the member of the far right, the future president will have “great strategic choices to make in terms of reindustrialisation, food independence …”. Before coming again to the outgoing President’s balance sheet:
“He wants to delete the nuclear at the beginning of the mandate. He wants to revive at the end of the term. He agrees for the decline in European food production at the beginning of the term. Today, he wants to give up this Drop in food production imposed by the European Union. But where does it bring us a leader who does not have a clear vision leads a policy that is dangerous. “
“we have the impression of a kind of red fish in a jar and we turn in circles. We do, we defeat, we redefit, and this in all areas”, A- she pursued on BFM-TV, believing that Mr. Macron “does not have vision, do not know where he goes”.
