At the National Gathering, 2022 is seriously starting to be desired.
Exactly one year after having hastily declared herself a presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen will have, this Monday, taken advantage of her wishes to the press to count the fifteen months that still separate her from 2022.
Like last year, the traditional practice has been almost entirely turned to the supreme maturity and the debate that it will play:
"The time managers, knowledgeable parties of nicks and shopkeepers is over,
has welcomed by way of introduction the president of the RN.
He fades to leave room for combatants and visionaries.
I believe in the need for the return of politics. ”
A spirit that contrasts with the last twelve months, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, major disappointments for the RN in the municipal elections as well as a period, according to Marine Le Pen, where
"the public debate seems to have also confined himself ”.
A state of affairs which does not prevent, far from it, the RN candidacy to win, poll after poll, as the only alternative to Emmanuel Macron in the capacity to reach the second round.
Regardless of the candidate supported by the Republicans or the Socialist Party.
According to an interactive Harris study for the daily
L'Opinion
, the unsuccessful candidate of 2017 would even be a short head ahead of the head of state in the first round: “
The French have understood that the two major political options, as in 2017 , are globalism and the nation,
modestly rejoiced Marine Le Pen.
It will probably take two presidential elections to decide this great political choice, in the same way that it took two presidential elections to decide between liberalism and socialism. ”
An allusion to the two presidential elections of 1974 and 1981 where they clashed in quick succession in the second round and for a different outcome, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and François Mitterrand.
Occupy time and space
While waiting for what she hopes will be her
“big night”,
the party leader tries to occupy time and space.
A new
"participatory"
digital platform
, entitled
"M the future",
was put online this Monday with the aim of publishing forums and contributions from citizens, supporters and executives of the movement on all subjects ...
Born outside the RN and led by the defector of Debout la France, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, as well as by the advisor to the external relations of Marine Le Pen, Franck Allisio, the initiative aims to
"open"
the future presidential campaign as to infuse it with a certain dose of horizontality at the time of “yellow vests” and citizens' committees.
"When it appears to us that the proposed ideas deserve to be explored, we will extract them from this site to study them, to see their feasibility and, possibly, to integrate them into my presidential project",
promises Marine Le Pen, before set as a limit that the contributions
“correspond, of course, to what the movement thinks”.
A filter with many outputs against the health policy of the government, for example, that Marine Le Pen is working to criticize only mezza vocedans for the sake of credibility.
“We do not come out of troubled situations with vain findings, indignation without a future or unproductive whining,
she blurted out.
We are coming out, I believe, by political solutions. "
