Nearly three hours of speech and a feeling: that of the great mastery that Emmanuel Macron exudes today, five years following his election in 2017. His only campaign meeting at the Arena de la Défense, followed by more than 35,000 sympathizers, has made it possible to better identify a candidate resolved to no longer appear as a “disruptor” but as a head of state who has understood the problems and French anger that he has not been able to calm. The outgoing president’s economic and European agenda remains unchanged. The emphasis on European sovereignty remains a constant. The promise not to increase the tax burden, and to continue the work of administrative reform remains one of its leitmotifs. “Good luck to those who do not see the return of the Empires and promise the great stunting” he launched, provocatively, for the benefit of his most threatening opponents in terms of voting intentions, according to the polls: Marine Le Pen, Eric Zemmour and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. What did we learn during this meeting? Overview.
