Presidential 2022: Emmanuel Macron refutes any “agreement” with Nicolas Sarkozy; Marine Le Pen warns of the coming “wall of inflation” – Le Monde

Guillaume Herbaut’s campaign diary For four weeks, the photographer Guillaume Herbaut publishes in Le Monde, every day, a photo which illustrates the atmosphere of France during this presidential campaign. The permanence of Sacha Houlié, deputy La République en Marche for Vienne, is located in the working-class district of Trois-Cités de Poitiers, between the kebab and the press house, which is also PMU. On the night of Friday to Saturday, she was tagged with insults calling him “idiot both in appearance and in spirit”. The 33-year-old MP has experienced nine assaults in five years, not counting regular threats. There are so many that he talks about them calmly and can’t remember them all.

Here, we have received thousands of people in five years. They ask me for help with everything, for social housing, residence permits, to unblock administrative problems…” “In the end, it’s a paradox, we’re going to serve as an outlet. When you no longer know who to talk to (…), you will beat the face of your chosen one. It’s both extremely sad and disturbing, because it’s violence. But, if we go a little further, it means that people still believe in the elect. »Guillaume Herbaut
