Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
LE FIGARO.- The start of the presidential campaign saw the most radical speeches prevail.

- Allow me a preliminary remark: it is first of all this word of "radicalism" which tends to impose itself in the debate of the campaign, and that deserves correction.
Because radicalism is the desire to go to the “root” of the problems and to propose solutions up to the stakes.
As such, in 1958, faced with the triple institutional, financial and colonial challenge, de Gaulle was indeed “radical” by changing the fundamentals in three areas: new Republic, drastic economic reforms, decolonization.
In contrast, the speeches of a Sandrine Rousseau or an Eric Zemmour are not radical but extremist.
