In the middle of a walkabout, captured by LCI cameras, the President of the Republic quickly finds himself hugged by children.
One of them, in the arms of the head of state, throws at him: “
You are the best, Macron.
I hope you will win.
With a mocking smile on his lips, Emmanuel Macron replies that “
there, (he) won
” and that “
now, (he) has to work well.
“Answer of the tac or tac of this toddler:”
You are right, Macron, you are the best.

Suddenly, the President of the Republic finds himself face to face with a little girl... visibly very enthusiastic about the rebellious leader.
“
We are going to elect Mélenchon.
Mélenchon, where is he
?
“
Mélenchon, he is not there
”, retorts Emmanuel Macron.
Faced with his very young interlocutor who is not as friendly towards the tenant of the Élysée as his neighbor on the left and who wants to leave - "
Me, I get out
" - the Head of State, who has entered the campaign, tries to convince her.
"
I don't want him (

For the past few weeks, the match has been set up for the legislative elections between, on the one hand, the gathering of presidential forces, and on the other, the coalition of the various leftist formations, united behind the banner of Nupes.
If Jean-Luc Mélenchon is eyeing Matignon, he will need an absolute majority to do so.
In this regard, the latest opinion polls foresee a fairly large group for the left of up to 230 deputies, when “Together!”
could be deprived of an absolute majority in ten days.
