Fact of the day: Emmanuel Macron declares himself in a letter to the French
Facts. The President of the Republic will formalize his candidacy for the presidential election this Thursday, in a “Letter to the French” broadcast on the websites of regional daily press titles. A suspense until the last moment: the aspirants to the Elysée had until Friday 6 p.m. to officially formalize their candidacy.
A written format. The president’s entourage tells BFMTV that this written format, which aims to be sober, has the advantage of allowing a differentiation between the Head of State, mobilized on Ukraine, and the future candidate. In the past, former presidents François Mitterrand and Nicolas Sarkozy had also taken up the pen, during the presidential campaign, to take stock of their mandate and address the French people.
Why it matters. After a schedule disrupted by the Covid-19 epidemic and then the war in Ukraine, the declaration of candidacy ofEmmanuel Macron has been postponed several times. Only 38 days from the first round, Emmanuel Macron will finally be able to officially launch his campaign.
