Presidential D-52: Royal lines up behind Mélenchon, Le Pen and Zemmour detail their programs, Pécresse in Vendée

Dear subscribers,

If you have read the

as of Wednesday evening, you must have probably read that Ségolène Royal, socialist leader in the 2007 presidential election, had called for a "useful vote" in favor of Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the head of his camp in the opinion polls.

A statement that clashes when the former ambassador of the Poles has made her entire political career within the rose party, that she was minister for François Mitterrand and François Hollande and that she was close to Emmanuel Macron when this the latter sat on the same government benches between 2014 and 2016. We will come back to this rallying which has shaken up the left from the start of this Letter.

Also on the program this evening, the two nationalist candidates who specify their measures in terms of pensions and defence.

And the return of Valérie Pécresse to the field.

Thank you for your careful reading and your loyalty.

Very good evening,
