Emmanuel Macron is holding its first big between-two-round meeting in Marseille, from 3:30 p.m. this afternoon, from the Pharo garden. Jean-Luc Mélenchon came out on top in the city of Bouches-du-Rhône during the first round (31%), nearly 9 points ahead of the outgoing president. A large part of his speech should be devoted to ecology.
It was already in this park that Mr. Macron spoke, at the beginning of September, to present his Marseille plan in a big way, generally well received locally. The capital of Bouches-du-Rhône was also to host, in early March, a first major campaign launch meeting, canceled in extremis after the outbreak of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
The president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regional council, Renaud Muselier, a former Republican who has become a strong ally of the candidate president, should be present, as well as the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, and Martine Vassal, the president of the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolis, also a former member of the right-wing party.
Marine Le Pen is, for its part, in Eure-et-Loir and was strolling this morning in the streets of Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre. During the day, around thirty demonstrations are also planned throughout France to say “no to the far right”at the call of organizations and unions such as SOS-Racisme, the CGT or the Syndicat de la magistrature.
