Presidential: Did Marine Le Pen succeed in her big meeting between the two rounds? – Europe 1

ANALYSISA highlight of Marine Le Pen’s campaign. The candidate of the National Rally for the presidential election held her big meeting between the two towers in Avignon, in the Vaucluse, on Thursday. Reintegration of laid off caregivers, referendum on immigration … The candidate listed her proposals in front of her approximately 4,000 activists, and repeatedly tackled the results of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term. In Europe Soir, the editorial writers discussed Marine Le Pen’s performance and delivered their analyses. lasted 47 minutes. He believes that the RN candidate has remained “in line with what she has done since the first round”. “She made a speech where the second part was very centered on the criticism of Emmanuel Macron’s record. She also attacked a lot of the attacks to which she was subjected”, specifies the journalist, reporting that the deputy du Pas-de-Calais had responded to the spade of Gérald Darmanin, who denounced that “the poor risked dying” if she was elected. a Marine Le Pen “fairly classic, with a speech that she has had since the start of her campaign. She did not surprise many”, he underlines in Europe Soir. The editor of Paris Match indicates that the candidate was in Vaucluse, a department which largely voted for her in the first round. “With her activists, she did the job from the meeting point of view”, concluded Bruno Jeudy. Emphasis on democracyFor Alexandre Devecchio, journalist at Le Figaro, Marine Le Pen “is trying to erase, in the continuity of the first round, a maximum of its asperities”. The journalist details: “She was not necessarily brutal towards Emmanuel Macron. She unfolded a vision, and posed as the antithesis of the outgoing president, whom she presented as the president globalization, free trade, not very social and disconnected from the French.” The journalist from Le Figaro also points out that the MP for Pas-de-Calais has developed a theme that she had less developed before, that of democracy. “She insisted a lot on the popular initiative referendum which was criticized by her opponents. She makes it an asset. It’s interesting”, notes Alexandre Devecchio. Getting above the right-left divideEssayist Gilles Mentré highlights four key words for the meeting of the RN candidate: people, protection, work and balance. With the terms protection and work, “she addressed the patriots of the left and the right, she wants to put herself above the right and the left”, analyzes the essayist in Europe Soir. For him, the proposals made by Marine Le Pen have provided consistency. “From this point of view, it is a speech that has been very worked on. We can see it: she read her speech a lot”, remarks Gilles Mentré. The essayist also sees in this speech “a discrepancy between the form and content”. “It is nevertheless a very classic, very vertical discourse”, adds Gilles Mentré, who points to “a contradiction of the National Rally and Marine Le Pen, between the openness to the RIC, the need for new democracy, and a tradition of National Front which it cannot completely get rid of, which is vertical. This verticality, Gilles Mentré translated it as the will “of a strong State, which decides. She accuses Macron of being a lonely man, but we can say that she too is a lonely woman who speaks directly to the people. She remains the prisoner of a heritage which she cannot manage to get rid of”, adds the essayist. Marine Le Pen in conquered territory For his part, Amine El Khatmi, president of the Republican Spring who supported Emmanuel Macron from the start of the campaign, first specifies that the high score of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who came first in Avignon, did not reflect the political tendency of Vaucluse, “anchored for a long time in this political family”. The former municipal councilor of the city concedes that it was “not absurd that Marine Le Pen goes to this region” to hold his big meeting there. Amine El Khatmi criticized the passage of the speech where Marine Le Pen evokes the defense freedom of the press: “She said that two days after a press conference, where she specifically challenged the right of journalists from the Quotidien program to be able to return.”
